Word by word

وَقَالُوا۟ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

هذا إخبار من الله عز وجل عن تمرد قوم فرعون وعتوهم وعنادهم للحق وإصرارهم على الباطل في قولهم "مهما تأتنا به من آية لتسحرنا بها فما نحن لك بمؤمنين" يقولون أي آية جئتنا بها ودلالة وحجة أقمتها رددناها فلا نقبلها منك ولا نؤمن بك ولا بما جئت به.
