Allah the Exalted said: << و ألق عصاك فلما رءاها تهتز كأنها جآن ولى مدبرا ولم يعقب يا موسى لا تخف إني لا يخاف لدي المرسلون >

And cast your staff
وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ"
And cast your staff
وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَBut when he saw it writhing
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا تَهْتَزُّIbn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the Alfiyyah a rule that is among the most beneficial things, which he mentioned in the chapter on the subject (mubtada') and which is applicable to everything. He said:
Omitting what is known is permissible, just as
you would say to Zayd: "From where are you?"
Omitting what is known is permissible; this is a rule.
He said: " So he threw it
But when he saw it writhing
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا تَهْتَزُّHowever, interpreting the shaking as mere movement is questionable, because shaking is more emphatic than movement. It seems that shaking involves a type of force and agitation.
"
As if it were a jinn
كَأَنَّهَا جَانٌّIt was said to be a great snake, and it was said: the male of the snakes of the jinn.
In any case, this staff that was in his hand, which he threw, became a snake that shakes, moves, and agitates like a jinn. That is, a great snake.
