and when you said o musa ! we cannot endure one kind of food. so invoke your lord for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows its herbs its cucumbers its fum its lentils and its onions. he said would you exchange that which is better for that which is lower? go you down to any town and you shall find what you want! and they were covered with humiliation and misery and they drew on themselves the wrath of allah. that was because they used to disbelieve the ayat of allah and killed the prophets wrongfully. that was because they disobeyed and used to transgress the bounds .
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
