78. Those of the Children of Israel who went astray were
cursed by the tongue of David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because
they rebelled and used to transgress.
79. They restrained not one another from the wickedness
they did. Verily evil was that they used to do!

Commentary
‘Asw – (they rebelled), it
is from ‘isyaan, which means ‘to
disobey, to revolt, to shake off subjection). The word ‘Aasii has also been derived from it.
Ya’-taduun – (they used to
transgress), this word is from ‘udwaan,
which means ‘to violate, to rebel, to tyrannize’.
Laa
yatanaa-hawna – (they did not restrain), it is from tanaa-hii and its origin is nahiii.
Nahiii means ‘to hold back, to
hinder, and to limit’. Tanaa-hii
means ‘to be hindered by one own and restrain one another mutually. Here it’s
both meanings are correct. However, last meaning has been adopted in the
translation.
The
Children of Israel were advised commonly in the previous lesson that they
should not include such matters in the religion, which do not exist in it, and
which have been taken from the old faithless people and idolaters.
In
this verse, they have been frightened, “Due to your evil habits, two Messengers
of higher position i.e. David and Jesus (peace be upon them) have fixed you
duly cursed. If you wish to come out from this curse, then you should embrace
Islam, otherwise its result will be very bad for you”.
Allah
Almighty commands that David and Jesus (peace be upon them) cursed the
disbelievers of the Children of Israel. Three reasons have been described about
it:
1.
They rebelled (they had been entangled in the evil deeds).
2.
They violated the limits, set up by the religion and their habit
of evil acts had become ordinary.
- Neither
they prevented themselves from the sins, nor forbade one another from the
wickedness.
When
the habits of any nation become too much corrupted that the evil is taken as a
sport and nobody exists there to stop oneself and to prevent others from wicked
deeds, but on the contrary, a coward is considered a good person, then that
nation deserves to be cursed. If that nation does not refrain from its misconduct,
then it is sure that they will be disgraceful and ruined, because if there is
none for asking, then the evil doer never tries himself to abstain from the
sins. Then other people get courage too to commit sins. Thus the entire nation
is ruined.
