And when you said, “O Musa ! we cannot be patient over one food, therefore pray to your Fosterer on our behalf (and ask Him) to bring out for us from that which the earth grows of its herbs, and its cucumbers and its garlic’s and its lentils and its onions.” He said, “What ! do you want to exchange that which is good for that which is worse? Go down to the city (Egypt) you will certainly have what you ask for.” And disgrace and wretchedness were made to strike them and they became deserving of the anger of Allah. That was because they did not believe in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without having the right to do so. That was because of their disobedience and they were the persons who exceeded the limits. (R 7)
