وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ اٰمِنُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوْا نُؤْمِنُ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا وَ یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهٗۗ-وَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَهُمْؕ-قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُوْنَ اَنْۢبِیَآءَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(91)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And when it is said to them, “Believe in that which Allah sent down.” They say, “We only believe that which was sent down to us.” And they reject anything other than the Torah, whilst that (Quran) is also the truth confirming what they already have.˹O Beloved Prophet!˺ Say, “˹O Jews!˺ So why did you martyr the Prophets of Allah previously if you were believers?”[1]

Commentary

[1]

The Israelites who lived in the era of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had not martyred the Prophets, however, they accepted the action of the murderers and would glorify them, so they were included among the murderers.
