some of the jews interchange the words from their places and say we hear and disobey – and they say hear may you not be able to hear – and they say raena distorting it with their tongues and in order to slander religion had they said we hear and we obey and kindly listen to us o dear prophet and look mercifully upon us o dear prophet it would have been much better for them and more just – but allah has cursed them for their disbelief so they do not believe except a little.
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
