Surah as-Saff (The Ranks ) 61 : 5

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِى وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوٓا۟ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?" And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

Explanatory Note

Moses was God's messenger to his people, their leader and teacher. Yet the grief that they caused him was of the extended type, taking many colours and forms. His struggle to put them on the right course was hard, tiring and trying. The children of Israel did not see much good coming their way as a result of his message, or that they blamed him for this latest round of oppression. They gave Moses much more grief, putting questions to him, making suggestions, and even starting a rebellion. They also falsely accused him. They knew for certain that he was God's messenger, but he did not put this fact across in a strong and assertive way. He simply gave them a remonstrating reminder. The result was that they swerved from the right way after being given every possible means of sticking to it. God let them go further astray and their hearts were no longer fit to receive guidance. Thus their trusteeship of the divine faith was over. They were no longer fit to carry God's message after they had gone so far astray.
