سُوْرَةُ البَقَرَةِ
Surah Al-Baqara (2) — Ayah 95
وَلَن يَتَمَنَّوْهُ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿95﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
But they will never long for it because of what their hands have sent before them (i.e. what they have done). And Allâh is All-Aware of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
95. 1. Hazrat Ibn Abbas said to the Jews: If you are truthful in your denial of the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ and in your claim of being beloved to Allah, then perform Mubahala, that is, both Muslims and Jews together should submit this request in the court of Allah: O Allah, whoever among us is a liar, cause him to die. This same invitation was also given to them in Surah Jumu'ah. The Christians of Najran were also invited to Mubahala as mentioned in Al-Imran. But since the Jews, like the Christians, were also liars, therefore, regarding the Jews as well, Allah Almighty said that they will never wish for death (i.e., Mubahala). Hafiz Ibn Kathir has preferred this interpretation (Tafsir Ibn Kathir).
