[Baqarah 2:58] And when We said, “Enter this town and eat freely from what is in it, and enter the gate whilst prostrating, and say, ‘May our sins be forgiven’ - We will forgive you your sins; and We will soon increase the reward for the righteous.”
[Baqarah 2:59] But the unjust changed the word
that had
been ordered for another one, so We sent down a punishment on them from
the skies, the recompense of their disobedience.
Section 7 [Baqarah 2:60] And when Moosa asked for water for his people, We said, "Strike this rock with your staff"; thereupon twelve springs gushed forth from it; each group recognised its drinking-place; "Eat and drink from what Allah has provided, and do not roam about the earth making turmoil in it."
[Baqarah 2:61] And when you said, "O Moosa! We
shall never
put up with only one kind of food, so call upon your Lord to produce
for
us what the earth grows - some herbs, cucumbers, corn, lentils and
onions";
he said, "What! You wish to exchange the better for something inferior?
Therefore settle down in Egypt or any city, where you will get what you
demand"; and disgrace and misery were destined for them; and they
returned
towards Allah’s wrath; that was because they disbelieved in Allah’s
signs
and wrongfully martyred the Prophets; that was for their disobedience
and
transgression. |
