among those of the jewish faith there are some who distort the meaning of the words taking them out of their context and saying we have heard but we disobey and hear without hearkening and hearken thou unto us thus making a play with their tongues and implying that the faith is false. and had they but said we have heard and we pay heed and hear and have patience with us it would indeed have been for their own good and more upright but god has rejected them because of their refusal to acknowledge the truth for it is in but few things that they believe.
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
