Al-Ma'idah 5:63 لولا ينهاهم الربانيون والاحبار عن قولهم الاثم واكلهم السحت لبيس ما كانوا يصنعون ٦٣

5:63
لَوۡلَا
يَنۡهَىٰهُمُ
ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ
وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ
عَن
قَوۡلِهِمُ
ٱلۡإِثۡمَ
وَأَكۡلِهِمُ
ٱلسُّحۡتَۚ
لَبِئۡسَ
مَا
كَانُواْ
يَصۡنَعُونَ

Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

The People of the Book are Enraged at the Believers Because of their Faith in Allah

Allah commands: Say, O Muhammad, to those who mock and jest about your religion from among the People of the Scriptures,

هَلْ تَنقِمُونَ مِنَّآ إِلاَّ أَنْ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن

Read in Context

Chapter 5, Page 118, Juz 6

61. And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And Allāh is most knowing of what they were concealing. 62. And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing. 63. Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing. 64. And the Jews say, "The hand of Allāh is chained." Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allāh extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allāh does not like corrupters. 65. And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared Allāh, We would have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure. 66. And if only they had upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān], they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate [i.e., acceptable] community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.
