الآية رقم (58) - وَإِذْ قُلْنَا ادْخُلُواْ هَـذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَداً وَادْخُلُواْ الْبَابَ سُجَّداً وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَسَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

(58) - “And [recall] when We said, "Enter this city and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens.' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward].”

So when the children of Israel refused provision from the sky of the mann and the salwa, and they were not impressed by what Allah U has bestowed and favoured them with, rather they arrogantly rejected them, their Lord said to them,

﴾ادْخُلُوا هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَدًا﴿

“Enter this city and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance,”, meaning, enter in bliss and peace.

﴾وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا﴿ “and enter the gate bowing humbly”, meaning humbling yourselves to Allah U, being obedient and grateful to Him most high.

﴾وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ﴿ “and say, ‘Relieve us of our burdens.’”: meaning ask Allah U to remove from you your sins by His forgiveness.

﴾نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ ۚ وَسَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ﴿ “We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward].”
