165. Then when they
forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We rescued those who forbade
wrong, and visited those who did wrong with dreadful punishment because they
were evil-livers.
166. So when they took
pride in that which they had been forbidden, We said unto them: Be ye apes
despised and loathed!

Commentary
Ba-‘iisin – (dreadful, grievous, hard to bear), this
word has been derived from baa-‘as. Baa-‘as means awe,
harshness, severity, difficulty.
Khaasi-‘iin – (despised and loathed) this word is plural
of khaasi-‘un, which has been made from khasun. Khasun means
“avaunt, begone, curse”. Khaasi-‘un is that individual or
animal which is driven out, reproved wherever it goes.
It was described in the
previous verse that the wise individuals of ‘Iilah preached
the people of ‘Iilah that the fish should not be caught on the
day of Sabbath in any way. It is disobedience of Allah Almighty. But there was
no actual value of the Command of Allah Almighty in their hearts.
They perceived it as: Our
intention will be concealed due to our tricks, whereas Allah Almighty knows the
condition of the hearts and He is Aware of the intention of everyone. No trick
or plan can deceive Him. He loosened them that haply they may abstain from
their unbecoming act after thinking but they ignored the advice. At last; what
happened with them; has been mentioned here.
It is commanded that when they
did not listen to those who preached them, even that some of preachers became
silent being frustrated from their guidance, We rescued all of those who
forbade them from wicked deeds. But We afflicted those disobedient people in
severe wrath as punishment for their disobedience.
But when, even then they did
not abstain from wrongdoing and their disobedience increased day by day; then
We commanded: Be ye apes and taste the flavor of scorn, contempt and baseness.
This incident has been mentioned in Surah Baqarah also and was
explained clearly.
The Children of Israel knew and
understood it properly. Accordingly, the mention of that incident exists in
their Holy Books even till today. The human being should learn from this story
that he should go on that Path without any kind of trick or deception; with
pure intention, which Allah Almighty has fixed for him.
