[61] (On the very occasion) Moses warned (his adversaries), saying,33 "O unfortunate people, do not invent falsehoods in regard to Allah:34 otherwise He will destroy you by a scourge: for whoso invented a falsehood, perished."
33The "adversaries" whom Prophet Moses addressed were Pharaoh and his courtiers who had dubbed him as a "sorcerer", and not the common people, who had yet to see the encounter between him and the magicians.
34"The falsehoods" were that they had dubbed Allah's Messenger as a "sorcerer" and his miracles as "a piece of sorcery."
