Tafsir of Surah Al-Baqara 2:61

Translation of the meaning

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

تدل على أن من كذب بالحق عوقب بأن يطبع على قلبه فلا يفهم العلم أو لا يفهم المراد منه وأنه يسلط عليه عدوه ويجد ذلا كما قال تعالى عن اليهود: {وضربت عليهم الذلة والمسكنة} {ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدون} .«مجموع الفتاوى» 14/162

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim

وهذا من سوء اختيارهم لأنفسهم، وقلة بصرهم بالأغذية النافعة الملائمة، واستبدال الأغذية الضارة القليلة التغذية منها،«إغاثة اللهفان من مصايد الشيطان» 2/309
