    📖 Commentary of Surah An-Naml – Verse 12

    "And put your hand into your bosom; it will come out white without any defect [23], among nine signs [24] to Pharaoh and his people [25]. Indeed, they are a people defiantly disobedient."

    ✅ [23] The Radiant Hand – A Miraculous Sign

    Allah commands Musa (peace be upon him) to place his hand into his bosom (cloak or garment). When he draws it out, it emerges white and shining, yet without any illness or defect—a miraculous glow, not due to leprosy or disease. This served as a visible sign of divine intervention, meant to strengthen Musa’s position when confronting Pharaoh.

    ✅ [24] One of Nine Divine Signs

    This miraculous hand was one of the nine distinct signs sent to Pharaoh and his nation. These signs included the staff turning into a serpent, locusts, lice, frogs, blood, drought, and others—each meant to warn and awaken a rebellious people. The repetition of signs emphasized that Pharaoh’s resistance was not due to lack of proof, but arrogance.

    ✅ [25] Addressed to Pharaoh and His Defiant People

    These signs were directed specifically at Pharaoh and his people, who are described as “defiantly disobedient”. This rebellion was not passive ignorance, but deliberate defiance—rejecting truth even when it was made manifest. The verse makes it clear that the purpose of the signs was to expose their stubbornness and guilt, not due to any ambiguity in the message.

    (27:12) Now put your hand into your bosom, and it will come forth shining without any blemish. (These are two of the) nine Signs[16] to be carried to Pharaoh and his people. They are surely a wicked people.”

    Ala-Maududi

    (27:12) Now put your hand into your bosom, and it will come forth shining without any blemish. (These are two of the) nine Signs[16] to be carried to Pharaoh and his people. They are surely a wicked people.”

    16. According to (Surah Bani-Israil, Ayat 101), the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) had been granted nine clearly visible signs, which according to the details given in Surah Al-Aaraf were the following: (1) The staff’s turning into a serpent, (2) the shining hand when it was drawn out of the armpit, (3) public triumph over the magicians, (4) occurrence of a widespread famine in the land as foretold by the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), (5) the storm, (6) the locusts, (7) the incidence of weevils in the grain stores and of lice among human beings and animals, (8) the frogs, and (9) the rain of blood. See (Surah Az-Zukhruf, ayat 48) note 43.

    (12) And put your hand into the opening of your garment [at the breast]; it will come out white without disease. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."
