Nine Signs
وَأَدۡخِلۡ يَدَكَ فِي جَيۡبِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءࣲۖ فِي تِسۡعِ ءَايَٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَقَوۡمِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمࣰا فَٰسِقِينَ ١٢
And put thy hand into the bosom of thy robe, it will come forth white but unhurt. (This will be one) among nine tokens unto Pharaoh and his people Lo! they were ever evil-living folk.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Put your hand into your bosom; it will come out white without disease — among nine signs to Pharaoh.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the whiteness was not from illness but a flawless miracle.
Reflect
Make use of the proofs Allah gives.
