Conforting Musa, Allah said
﴿فَلاَ تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْفَـسِقِينَ﴾
(So do not greive for the rebellious people.) Allah said: Do not feel sorrow or
sadness over My judgment against them, for they deserve such judgment. This story
chastises the Jews, exposes their defiance of Allah and His Messenger, and their
refusal to obey the order for Jihad. They were weak and could not bear the thought
of fighting their enemy, being patient, and enduring this way. This occurred although
they had the Messenger of Allah and the one whom He spoke to among them, the best
of Allah's creation that time. Their Prophet promised them triumph and victory against
their enemies. They also witnessed the torment and punishment of drowning with which
Allah punished their enemy Fir`awn and his soldiers, so that their eyes were pleased
and comforted. All this did not happen too long ago, yet they refused to perform
Jihad against people who had less than a tenth of the power and strength than the
people of Egypt had. Therefore, the evil works of the Jews were exposed to everyone,
and the exposure was such an enormous one that the night, or the tail, can never
cover its tracks. They were also blinded by their ignorance and transgression. Thus,
they became hated by Allah, and they became His enemies. Yet, they claim that they
are Allah's children and His loved ones! May Allah curse their faces that were transformed
to the shape of swine and apes, and may Allah's curse accompany them to the raging
Fire. May Allah make them abide in the Fire for eternity, and He did; all thanks
are due to Him.
﴿وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ
نَبَأَ ابْنَىْ ءْادَمَ بِالْحَقِّ إِذْ قَرَّبَا قُرْبَـناً فَتُقُبِّلَ مِن أَحَدِهِمَا
وَلَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الاٌّخَرِ قَالَ لاّقْتُلَنَّكَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ
اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ -﴿ لَئِن بَسَطتَ إِلَىَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِى
مَآ أَنَاْ بِبَاسِطٍ يَدِىَ إِلَيْكَ لاًّقْتُلَكَ إِنِّى أَخَافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
- إِنِّى أُرِيدُ أَن تَبُوءَ بِإِثْمِى وَإِثْمِكَ فَتَكُونَ مِنْ
أَصْحَـبِ النَّارِ وَذَلِكَ جَزَآءُ الظَّـلِمِينَ - فَطَوَّعَتْ
لَهُ نَفْسُهُ قَتْلَ أَخِيهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ -
فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ غُرَاباً يَبْحَثُ فِى الاٌّرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُ كَيْفَ يُوَارِى سَوْءَةَ
أَخِيهِ قَالَ يَ
-وَيْلَتَا أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ
أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَـذَا الْغُرَابِ فَأُوَارِيَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِى فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ النَّـدِمِينَ

(27. And recite to them the story of the two sons of Adam in truth; when each offered
a sacrifice, it was accepted from the one but not from the other. The latter said
to the former: "I will surely, kill you.'' The former said: "Verily, Allah accepts
only from those who have Taqwa.) (28. "If you do stretch your hand against me to
kill me, I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear Allah;
the Lord of all that exists.'') (29. "Verily, I intend to let you draw my sin on
yourself as well as yours, then you will be one of the dwellers of the Fire, and
that is the recompense of the wrongdoers.'') (30. So the soul of the other encouraged
him and made fair-seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and
became one of the losers.) (31. Then Allah sent a crow who scratched the ground
to show him how to hide the dead body of his brother. He said: "Woe to me! Am I
not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother'' Then
he became one of those who regretted.)
