246. (O Beloved Prophet) Did you not observe the group of the Children of Israel after Musa? When they said to a Prophet of theirs: "Appoint for us a king so that we may fight in the way of Allah." He said: "Perhaps if fighting is prescribed for you, you will not fight." They replied: "What is the matter with us that we should not fight in the way of Allah, while we have been driven out of our homes and our children?" But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is All-Knowing of the unjust.
