Have you conformed your will said Pharaoh, to the will of the Ilah of Mussa before I permit you to do so! Indeed it is your chief who taught you magic has misled you. Therefore, you just wait. I will amputate your hands and feet on opposite sides and I will have you all crucified on the trunks of palm - trees, and you shall come to know which of us, can inflict punishment to a greater degree, agonizing, and more lasting to make you live in Hell on earth

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(20:71) Pharaoh said, "Have you believed in him before I gave you permission? Obviously, he is your master who has taught you sorcery. *45 Well, now I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides *46 and crucify you on the trunks of palm-trees *47 then you shall know whose punishment is more terrible and tasting (mine or that of Moses). " *48

*45) In VII : 123, it has been stated : "Indeed it was a plot you conspired in the city to ,deprive the rightful owners of their power." Here the same thing has been further explained, as if to say, "It is not merely a plot between you and him but it appears that Moses is your master and leader. You conspired beforehand that you would be defeated by your master in the encounter to prove that he was a Messenger who had shown the miracle of the staff to frustrate your magic and bring about a political revolution in the country. "
*46) That is, "Right hand and left foot or via versa. "
*47) This was a very cruel way of punishment in ancient times. They fixed a long pole in the ground or used the trunk of a tree for this purpose. Then a piece of wood was tied across it at the top. Then the hands of the criminal were nailed on to it and he was left hanging there for hours to die a slow, painful death.
*48) This was the last trick played by Pharaoh to win the losing game. He held out the threat of a cruel punishment in order to coerce them to admit that there really was a conspiracy between Prophet Moses and them against the kingdom.But the fortitude and determination of the magicians turned the tables on him. The very fact that, they were ready to endure the terrible punishment proved to the world that they had sincerely believed in the Prophethood of Moses and that the charge of conspiracy was an impudent trick that had been invented as a device.

فرعون نے کہا " تم ایمان لے آئے قبل اس کے کہ میں تمہیں اس کی اجازت دیتا؟ معلوم ہو گیا کہ یہ تمہارا گرو ہے جس نے تمہیں جادوگری سکھائی تھی اچھا، اب میں تمہارے ہاتھ پاؤں مخالف سمتوں سے کٹواتا ہوں اور کھجور کے تنوں پر تم کو سُولی دیتا ہوں پھر تمہیں پتہ چل جائے گا کہ ہم دونوں میں سے کس کا عذاب زیادہ سخت اور دیر پا ہے" (یعنی میں تمہیں زیادہ سخت سزا دے سکتا ہوں یا موسیٰؑ)
