وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ آتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلأَهُ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَالاً فِي ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِكَ رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلأَلِيمَ

 

waqāla mūsā rabbanā innaka ātayta fir`ʿawna wamala-ahu zīnatan wa-amwālan fī l-ḥayati l-dun`yā rabbanā liyuḍillū ʿan sabīlika rabbanā iṭ`mis ʿalā amwālihim wa-ush`dud ʿalā qulūbihim falā yu`minū ḥattā yarawū l-ʿadhāba l-alīma

 

The Aya says:

And Moses said: “Our nurturing lord, you have indeed provided Pharaoh and his entourage adornment and riches in this life.  Our nurturing lord to lead astray from your path.  Our lord make their riches null and make their hearts narrow so they will not attain faith until they have seen painful suffering.”

 

My personal note:

This is Moses’s prayer that Pharaoh and his people will not attain faith until they suffer in a painful way.
