[71]. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "It was said to the children of Israel, ‘Enter the gate (of the town) bowing with humility and say: ‘Repentance’, but they changed the word and entered crawling on their buttocks and said: ‘A wheat grain in the hair’." They said so just to ridicule Allah’s order, as they were disobedient to Him. So Allāh punished them severely, most probably with a plague.
