Al Baqarah

HR Background

وَ ظَلَّلْنَا عَلَیْكُمُ الْغَمَامَ وَ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَ السَّلْوٰىؕ-كُلُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْؕ-وَ مَا ظَلَمُوْنَا وَ لٰـكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ(57)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And we shaded you with a cloud and sent down upon you Mann and Salwā:[1]“Eat from the pure things We have provided you.” And they did nothing to harm Us, however, they were only oppressing themselves.

Commentary

[1]

Mann was a kind of sweet food (light as dew with a honey-like flavour) and Salwā was a small bird.
