some jews take words out of their context and say we have heard but we disobey or hear without listening. and they say look at us twisting the phrase with their tongues so as to disparage religion. but if they had said we hear and we obey and listen to us and look at us with favour that would have been better and more proper for them. god has rejected them for their defiance so that they shall not believe except a few of them.
من الذين هادوا يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ويقولون سمعنا وعصينا واسمع غير مسمع وراعنا ليا بألسنتهم وطعنا في الدين ولو أنهم قالوا سمعنا وأطعنا واسمع وانظرنا لكان خيرا لهم وأقوم ولكن لعنهم الله بكفرهم فلا يؤمنون إلا قليلا
