قَالُواْ يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ
[7:115]
They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast?
They said: "O Moses! wilt thou throw (first), or shall we have the (first) throw?"
They said: O Moses! Either throw (first) or let us be the first throwers?
