Translation of Surah Al-Baqarah, ayah 65 (2:65)

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعۡتَدَوۡاْ مِنكُمۡ فِي ٱلسَّبۡتِ فَقُلۡنَا لَهُمۡ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ ٦٥
You are already aware of those of you who broke the Sabbath. We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”1

The chosen opinion among scholars is that those who broke the Sabbath were turned into real apes. Imam Mujâhid, however, maintained that they just behaved like apes.
