﴿ فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ﴾

“Now when the sorcerers came, they said unto Pharaoh: “Verily, we ought to have a great reward if it is we who prevail.”

So when the sorcerers came they said to Pharaoh ‘Shall we indeed read a-inna either by pronouncing both hamzas or by not pronouncing the second but in both cases inserting an alif have a reward if we were to be the victors?’
