“It is reported that they refused to accept the rulings in the Tawrah due to how tough and weighty they were. So Allaah raised Mt. Ṭūr above their heads covering their encampment, which was a farsakh by a farsakh [a farsakh or ‘parasang’ is about 5.5 km] and they were told, ‘Either you accept what is in it or it will fall on you.’ So when they looked at the mountain each one of them fell into prostration on his left eyebrow while looking up at the mountain with his right eye scared that it would fall on them.”
Tafsīr ar-Rāzī.
And then, being cursed, they turned away again.
