The benefits derived from the saying of Allah the Exalted: << قالوا يا موسى إنا لن ندخلها . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . >

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Then Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
O Moses, we will never enter it... يا موسى إنا لن ندخلها ...
In this verse, as we mentioned in the verse before it, is the rudeness of the Children of Israel, where they address their Prophet by his proper name without describing him with the titles of messengership and prophethood. Among its benefits is the persistence of the Children of Israel in disobedience, cowardice, and stinginess, as they said:
we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it لن ندخلها أبدا ما داموا فيها
[Al-Ma'idah 5:24]
This makes it clear that they are persistent in disobeying their Prophet who said, "Enter the Holy Land."
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the great arrogance of the Children of Israel, where they said to Moses (peace be upon him):
so go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here." فاذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا إنا هاهنا قاعدون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:24]
The phrasing of this command is such that it is as if they are commanding Moses as well, in a manner of superiority and arrogance.
go, you and your Lord اذهب أنت وربك
[Al-Ma'idah 5:24]
This means they did not express a hope or say, "Will you not go, O Messenger of Allah," or "O Prophet of Allah," or something similar.
so go, you and your Lord, and fight اذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:24]
Then there is a third aspect of arrogance in the phrase:
Indeed, we are remaining right here." إنا هاهنا قاعدون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:24]
"We will not go with you." They did not say, for example, "We are your rear guard, we will protect your back," or something similar. So in it is also the perfection of the arrogance of the Children of Israel.
