سُوْرَةُ المَآئِدَةِ
Surah Al-Maaida (5) — Ayah 78
لُعِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُۥدَ وَعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ ﴿78﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dâwûd (David) and ‘Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allâh and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds.

78. 1 That is, in the Zabur which was revealed to Hazrat Dawud (عليه السلام) and in the Injil which was revealed to Hazrat Isa (عليه السلام), and now this same curse is being pronounced upon them through the Quran which was revealed to Hazrat Muhammad Rasulullah ﷺ. The meaning of curse is to be distanced from Allah's mercy and goodness.
78. 2 These are the reasons for the curse. 1. Disobedience, that is, by abandoning obligations and committing prohibitions, they disobeyed Allah. 2. And transgression, that is, by excessiveness in religion and inventing innovations, they exceeded the limits.
