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.
3.
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.
