73. Do not tell miracles to be magic, as this is a lie. From this we learn to link the Prophets towards falsehood is attributing falsehood to Allah Almighty.

74. From this we learn that disobedience to the Prophet of Allah is a cause of Divine punishment. Observe, up to that point in time no Divine punishment had come to the Pharaoh and his followers, although they were indulging in infidelity and polytheism. 

But now, says Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) Divine punishment will come to you because you are disobeying me.
