6قُل يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ هادوا إِن زَعَمتُم أَنَّكُم أَولِياءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دونِ النّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا المَوتَ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَMuhammad AsadSay: "O you who follow the Jewish faith!1 If you claim that you [alone] are close to God, to the exclusion of all other people, then you should be longing for death - if what you say is true!"2I.e., in its present form, estranged from the original purport of the Torah.For this and the next verse, cf. 2:94-95.
