They said: "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may testify."
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."
(21:61) At this, they said, ''Then seize him, and bring him here before the people so that they may witness (how severely he is dealt with)". *59
*59) This was exactly what Prophet Abraham expected to happen. He wished that the matter should not remain confined to the priests and the attendants but the common people also should be present there to witness that their deities were helpless and their priests were deluding them about their powers. The priests committed the same folly as was later committed by Pharaoh when he arranged an encounter between Prophet Moses and the magicians in the open in front of the multitudes of the common people, and the former got an opportunity to show publicly the miracle of the staff which shattered the illusory, magical tricks of the magicians.
