and recall when you said o moses we cannot endure one kind of food so call to your lord to produce for us of what the earth grows of its herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions. he said would you substitute worse for better? go down to egypt where you will have what you asked for. they were struck with humiliation and poverty and incurred wrath from god. that was because they rejected gods revelations and wrongfully killed the prophets. that was because they disobeyed and transgressed.
وإذ قلتم يا موسى لن نصبر على طعام واحد فادع لنا ربك يخرج لنا مما تنبت الأرض من بقلها وقثائها وفومها وعدسها وبصلها قال أتستبدلون الذي هو أدنى بالذي هو خير اهبطوا مصرا فإن لكم ما سألتم وضربت عليهم الذلة والمسكنة وباءوا بغضب من الله ذلك بأنهم كانوا يكفرون بآيات الله ويقتلون النبيين بغير الحق ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدون
