(7). 3048. Abū 'Ubaidah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When the Children of Isrā'īl fell into decline, a man among them would see his brother committing a sin, and prohibit him from it. The next day, what he saw him doing would not prevent him from eating with him, drinking with him, and associating with him. So Allāh pitted their hearts against each other, and He revealed about them in the Qur'ān, He said: Those among the Children of Isrā'īl who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dāwūd and 'Eisā, son of Mariam. That was because they disobeyed and were ever transgressing.' And he recited until he reached: 'And had they believed in Allāh, and in the Prophet, and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them as friends; but many of them are rebellious.'[1] He said: "And Allāh's Prophet ﷺ was reclining, so he sat up and said: 'No! Not until you take the hand of the wrong-doer and incline him toward the truth.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
Every Prophet from Dāwūd up to 'Eisā (Jesus) cursed the people of Israel because of their evil doings and offences. In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ these people had very strong relations and alliances with the disbelievers of Makkah; even they would consider the disbelievers more guided than the Muslims.
