So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
When they overstepped the limits, rebelling against Allah out of pride and stubbornness, and they would not be advised, Allah told them: 'O you disobedient ones! Be you monkeys, humiliated!' So they became what He willed, because when He wills something He only says to it ‘Be!’ and it is.
