(Bani Isra'il were forbidden from fishing in Saturdays, some of them obeyed and others disobeyed. This incident is mentioned in these verses) Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says (Translation): And when a community among them said: Why do you preach to a folk, whom Allah is about to destroy and punish with an awful doom. They (the preachers) said: In order to be free from guilt before Your Rabb, and perhaps they may fear Allah. And when they forgot that which they had been reminded with; We rescued those who forbade wrong, and caught those who did wrong with a dreadful punishment, because they transgressed the commands of Allah. (Al- A'raf 7: 164-165)
