(155) فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَاقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِم بَآيَاتِ اللّهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ الأَنْبِيَاء بِغَيْرِ حَقًّ وَقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوبُنَا
غُلْفٌ بَلْ طَبَعَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً
155. " So, for their breaking their covenant and their disbelief in the Signs of Allah and their slaying the prophets wrongfully and their saying: ' Our hearts are covered ', nay! but Allah sealed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe save a few. "
Commentary :
In this verse, the Qur'an points to some other parts of the wrong doings of the Children of Israel, and also those committing offenses and hostilities that the Jews performed against the prophets of Allah.
At first, it refers to the breach of promise and disbelief of a group of them, by whom the slauhter of many prophets occurred. It says:
" So, for their breaking their covenant ... "
Following to this breach of promise, they rejected the Signs of Allah and paved the way of opposition.
" ... and their disbelief in the Signs of Allah ... "
They did not suffice only to this wrong-doing, but also they set their hands to another great crime. They killed the leaders and the guides of the way of Truth, viz. the prophets. They slew the prophets without having any reason for their action.
" .. and their slaying the prophets wrongfully ... "
They were so insolent in committing offenses that they mocked the statements of the prophets and they used to explicitly say to them that their heart were locked so that it hindered them to hear and accept the invitation of the prophets.
" ... and their saying ' Our hearts are covered '; ... "
Here, the Qur'an adds a sense that their hearts are cealed totally and no truth penetrated into them, but the reason of that situation is their own infidelity and disbelief. That is why they do not believe in truth, except a small group of them who avoid of these kinds of obstinacies and that they pave the path of truth. It says :
"... nay! but Allah sealed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe save a few. "
