Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O Jews! If you claim to be Allah’s chosen ˹people˺ out of all humanity, then wish for death, if what you say is true.”

But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done.¹ And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter with Allah is exclusively for you ˹Israelites˺ out of all humanity, then wish for death if what you say is true!”

But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done.¹ And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.
