[17].Surah Al-Isra' [The Journey By Night]: Ayat 101

 also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of Israel]
 
Ayat 101. And indeed We gave to Musa (Moses) nine clear signs. Ask then the Children of Israel, when he came to them, then Firaun (Pharaoh) said to him: "O Musa (Moses)! I think you are indeed bewitched."
[Tafseer] Nine Clear Signs; The story of Pharaoh (or a phase of it) is here told with a view to exhibiting the decline of a soul on account of pride in outward power and dignity. To them: i.e., to Pharaoh, as sitting in his Council, with the Chiefs of his People. Pharaoh's Chiefs call Moses (PBUH) a "sorcerer well-versed". Here Moses, who had come with Nine Signs but had not yet shown them, is reproached with being the object of sorcery: he is practically told that he is mad!  

Hazrat Safwan bin `Assal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Jew asked his companion to take him to the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) ; and when they came to the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) , they asked him about the nine clear signs (given to Prophet Musa). Safwan narrated the long Hadith which concludes: They kissed the hands of the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) and said: "We testify that you are a Prophet.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2733].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 101. And indeed We gave to Musa (Moses) nine clear signs. People of the Scriptures, that is the Jews and the Christians for them that if they embrace Islam, they will be entitled to a double reward.
