Sura 61
Aya 5
5
وَإِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ يا قَومِ لِمَ تُؤذونَني وَقَد تَعلَمونَ أَنّي رَسولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيكُم ۖ فَلَمّا زاغوا أَزاغَ اللَّهُ قُلوبَهُم ۚ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الفاسِقينَ

Ali Unal

And (remember) when Moses said to his people: “O my people! Why do you affront me1 while you know indeed that I am the Messenger of God sent to you?” And so, when they swerved from the right way, God made their hearts swerve from the truth. God does not guide the transgressing people.
  • For Moses’ being affronted by his people, see sūrah 2: 51, 55, 60, 67, 71; sūrah 4: 153; sūrah 5: 20, 26; sūrah 7: 138, 141, 148, 151; sūrah 20: 86, 98; Exodus 5: 20, 21; 14: 11-13; 16: 2–16; 17: 3–4, Numbers 11: 1–15; 14: 1–10; 16: 1–50; 20: 1–5.
