And when you said: ‘O Musa (Moses), we cannot be content with only one kind of food (i.e. manna and quails), so pray to your Lord (in our favour) that He may bring forth for us of cultivated produce: green herbs, cucumbers, wheat, garlic, lentils and onions.’ (Musa [Moses]) said (to his people): ‘Do you demand something inferior in exchange for something superior? (And if that is what you wish then) go down to any city. Surely (there) will be (available) all what you demand.’ Then dishonour and deprivation were brought upon them and they incurred the wrath of Allah because they used to deny the Signs of Allah and kill the Prophets unjustly. This was also because they used to disobey and would (always) exceed limits.
