English translation of the meaning
And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.

Was-alhum AAani alqaryati allatee kanat hadirata albahri ith yaAAdoona fee assabti ith meaning in urdu
اور ذرا اِن سے اُ س بستی کا حال بھی پوچھو جو سمندر کے کنارے واقع تھی اِنہیں یاد دلاؤ وہ واقعہ کہ وہاں کے لوگ سبت (ہفتہ) کے دن احکام الٰہی کی خلاف ورزی کرتے تھے اور یہ کہ مچھلیاں سبت ہی کے دن ابھر ابھر کر سطح پر اُن کے سامنے آتی تھیں اور سبت کے سوا باقی دنوں میں نہیں آتی تھیں یہ اس لیے ہوتا تھا کہ ہم ان کی نافرمانیوں کی وجہ سے ان کو آزمائش میں ڈال رہے تھے
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And ask them (O Muhammad SAW) about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them for they used to rebel (see the Quran: V. 4:154).
Indonesia transalation
Dan tanyakanlah kepada Bani Israil tentang negeri yang terletak di dekat laut ketika mereka melanggar aturan pada hari Sabtu, (yaitu) ketika datang kepada mereka ikan-ikan (yang berada di sekitar) mereka terapung-apung di permukaan air, padahal pada hari-hari yang bukan Sabat ikan-ikan itu tidak datang kepada mereka. Demikianlah Kami menguji mereka disebabkan mereka berlaku fasik.

Was-alhum AAani alqaryati allatee kanat hadirata albahri ith yaAAdoona fee assabti ith translate in arabic
واسألهم عن القرية التي كانت حاضرة البحر إذ يعدون في السبت إذ تأتيهم حيتانهم يوم سبتهم شرعا ويوم لا يسبتون لا تأتيهم كذلك نبلوهم بما كانوا يفسقون
سورة: الأعراف - آية: ( 163 ) - جزء: ( 9 ) - صفحة: ( 171 )Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(7:163) And ask the people of Moses concerning the town situated along the sea *122 how its people profaned the Sabbath when fish came to them breaking the water's surface on Sabbath days, *123 and would not come to them on other than Sabbath-days. Thus did We try them because of their disobedience. *124
Was`alhum `anil qaryatil latee kaanat haadiratal bahri iz ya`doona fis Sabt iz taateehim heetaanuhum yawma Sabtihim shurra`anw wa yawma laa yasbitoona laa taateehim; kazaalika nabloohum bimaa kaanoo yafsuqoon
*122). Most scholars identify this place with Eilat, Eilath or Eloth. (Cf. Encyclopaedia Britannica, XV edition, 'Macropaedia', vol. 3, art. 'Elat' -Ed.) The seaport called Elat which has been built by the present state of Israel (which is close to the Jordanian seaport, Aqaba), stands on the same site. It lies at the end of that long inlet of the Red Sea situated between the eastern part of the Sinai peninsula and the western part of Arabia. It was a major trading centre in the time of Israelite ascendancy. The Prophet Solomon took this city as the chief port for his fleet in the Red Sea.
The event referred to in the above verse is not reported in Jewish Scriptures. Nor do historical accounts shed any light on it. Nonetheless, it appears from the way it has been mentioned in the above verse and in al-Baqarah that the Jews of the early days of Islam were quite familiar with the event. (See Towards Understanding the Qur'an, vol. 1, al-Baqarah 2: 65 and n. 83, pp. 81-2 - Ed.) This view is further corroborated by the fact that even the Madinan Jews who spared no opportunity to criticize the Prophet (peace be on him) did not raise any objection against this (Qur'anic account.
*123). 'Sabbath', which means Saturday, was declared for the Israelites as the holi day of the week. God declared the Sabbath as a sign of the perpetual covenant between God and Israel. (Exodus 31: 12-16.) The Israelites were required to strictly keep the Sabbath which meant that they may not engage in any worldly activity; they may not cook, nor make their slaves or cattle serve them. Those who violated these rules were to be put to death. The Israelites, however, publicly violated these rules. In the days of the Prophet Jeremiah (between 628 and 586 B.C.), the Israelites carried their merchandise through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day itself. Jeremiah, therefore, warned them that if they persisted in their flagrant violation of the Law, Jerusalem would be set on fire. (Jererniah 17: 21-7.) The same complaint is voiced in the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (595-536 B.C.) who referred to their violation of the Sabbath rules as their major sin. (Ezekiel 20: 12-24.) In view of these Scriptural references it seems plausible that the event mentioned in the above Qur'anic verse is related to the same period.
*124). Men are tested by God in a variety of ways. When a person or group of people begin to turn away from God and incline themselves towards disobedience, God provides abundant opportunities for them to disobey. This is done in order that the full potential for disobedience, which had remained hidden because of lack of such an opportunity, might come to the surface.
