It is narrated by Ibn Mas’ood (radhiyallahoanha) that the holy Prophet (saw) recited the verse of the Holy Quran which says:
“the disobedient and the transgressors among the bani israa-eel were accursed by Allah.”
On this the holy Prophet(saw) emphatically instructed his companions:
“(to avoid such decline) you people must enjoin upon others to do good deeds and prevent them from doing forbidden things: you should restrain every tyrant from tyranny and invite them towards truth and justice.”
2) The verse “some children of his people” is talking about the Bani Israil and the magicians were not from the Bani Israil. The magicians came from all over the county.
