Calling the Jews to invoke Allah to destroy the Unjust Party Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated that Ibn Abbas said, "Allah said to His Prophet,

قل إن كانت لكم الدار اﻻخرة عند الله خالصة من دون الناس فتمنوا الموت إن كنتم صادقين

Say to (them): "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is indeed for you especially and not for others, of mankind, then long for death if you are truthful.'' meaning, `Invoke Allah to bring death to the lying camp among the two (Muslims and Jews).'
