Qatada said:
It was mentioned to us that when they did what they did regarding the table, out of treachery and other things, they were transformed into swine. They had been commanded not to commit treachery regarding it, and not to hide or store anything for the next day, yet they committed treachery, hid [the food], and stored it.
Surah Al-Ma'idah from verse (116) to verse (120).
قَالَ قَتَادَةُ:
وَذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُمْ لَمَّا صَنَعُوا فِي الْمَائِدَةِ مَا صَنَعُوا مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ وَغَيْرِهَا، حُوِّلُوا خَنَازِيرَ، وَكَانُوا أُمِرُوا أَلَّا يَخُونُوا فِيهِ، وَلَا يُخَبِّئُوا وَلَا يَدَّخِرُوا لغدٍ، فخانوا وخبئوا وَادخرُوا.
سُورَة الْمَائِدَة من الْآيَة (١١٦) إِلَى الْآيَة (١٢٠).
