Al Baqarah

HR Background

فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا قَوْلًا غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ قِیْلَ لَهُمْ فَاَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْسُقُوْنَ(59)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Then those transgressors changed what they were told into another statement, so We sent down adversity[1] upon them from the heavens as they had been disobeying.

Commentary

[1]

The Israelites were commanded to enter while prostrating and saying, “iṭṭah!” (an expression of forgiveness) but they disobeyed both commands, dragging themselves through the door on their rears (not prostrating) and mockingly saying, “abbatun fī shaʿratin!” (a grain in a hair), instead of the expression of forgiveness.
