English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And the magicians were impelled to fall down prostrate.
English - Five Volume Translation
And the magicians were impelled to fall down prostrate.
Commentary:
The passive voice in the words, were impelled to fall down prostrate, is full of meaning. The discomfiture of the magicians was so complete that it appeared that some hidden power had taken the ground from under their feet. They were, as it were, made to fall down prostrate on the ground in an attitude of prayer and humility before God.
