It is narrated from IBN- ABBASS that a group of Jewish chiefs conspired against the prophet saying:- ``Let us go to him and try to tempt him to some deviation.'' They went to the Messenger of God and said:- ``We are the learned and grandees among the Israelites, and if we follow you up, all the Israelites will adhere to you. There is a quarrel and hot dispute among us all, and if you judge in our favour, we shall then follow you and will certainly win.'' What the Jews wanted was a judgement unjust and against Allah's consent, so the prophet refused to do that, and this verse was revealed to this effect. CAUSE OF THE REVELATION (VERSES NO. 49-50)
