In Book 3 of Jalaluddin Rumi's Masnavi, the narrative of Moses and Pharaoh expands to include the internal spiritual conflict of the sorcerers summoned by the king. Tasked with countering Moses, whose staff has caused 'tumult and trouble' despite his lack of a conventional army, the sorcerers seek guidance from their deceased father. Fasting for three days at his grave, they ask him to discern whether Moses's power is mere sorcery or a genuine divine miracle. This pivotal moment highlights their underlying spiritual readiness; they declare that if Moses represents divine truth, they wish to submit, prostrate themselves, and experience spiritual alchemy. Rumi uses this episode to illustrate the transition from worldly despair to the hope of divine grace, showing that even those enlisted by a tyrant can harbor a sincere yearning for truth.
