A town by the sea was tested: fish surfaced on the Sabbath, the day it was forbidden to catch them, and vanished on other days. Some of its people devised a trick, some forbade it, and others stayed silent. Who was saved? The story in Surah Al-A‘raf from the Qur’an and authentic Hadith only, without Israiliyyat. “We saved those who had forbidden evil.”
“And when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.”
