They had an unnecessary controversy with their physicians (Prophets); and they did not abstain from what was forbidden to them. (They discarded the guidance and admonition given to them.) But those who accepted the advice (guidance), and acted accordingly, soon became healthy (i.e. reformed).
ایں طبیبانِ بدن دانشورند
برسقام تو ز تو واقف تراند
(Roomi)
These physicians of the body are quite clever. They diagnose the disease better than you do
“But for those (renegades) who repented of their prior faithlessness and performed good acts, verily Allah is the Forgiving, the Compassionate”!
(89, AI-Imran)

With true physicians they bandied obeying them not,
Their efforts bear no fruit, for their advice is followed not.

They argued with physicians, didn't exercise abstention,
Those who did, recuperated soon.
