وَ الْإِنْجِيلُ إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَ فَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ثم قال: هٰا أَنْتُمْ هٰؤُلَاءِ أَيْ أَنْتُمْ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ حَاجَجْتُمْ فِيمَا لَكُمْ بِهِ عِلْمٌ يعني بما في التوراة و الإنجيل فَلِمَ تُحَاجُّونَ فِيمَا لَيْسَ لَكُمْ بِهِ عِلْمٌ يعني بما في صحف إبراهيم وَ اللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ وَ أَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ثم قال: مَا كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا وَلَا نَصْرَانِيًّا وَلٰكِنْ كَانَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

Translation: “And the Gospel, except after him? Will you not then understand?” Then He said: “There you are, these people—you disputed about what you have knowledge of,” meaning what is in the Torah and the Gospel, “so why do you dispute concerning that of which you have no knowledge,” meaning what is in the Scrolls of Abraham? “And Allah knows and you do not know.” Then He said: “Abraham was not a Jew nor a Christian, but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists.” (Qur’an 3:67, M. H. Shakir)

/1747 _1- Translation: And ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said: In the narration of Abū al-Jārūd, from Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon him), regarding His saying, the Exalted: “And a party of the People of the Book say: Believe in that which has been revealed to those who believe at the commencement of the day and disbelieve at the end of it, perhaps they may turn back” (Qur’an 3:72, M. H. Shakir): “When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) came to Medina and he was praying toward Bayt al-Maqdis, that pleased the Jews. But when Allah turned him away from Bayt al-Maqdis to the Sacred House, the Jews were angered by that, and the turning of the qiblah occurred at the noon prayer. So they said: ‘Muhammad prayed the morning prayer facing our qiblah, so believe in what was sent down to Muhammad at the beginning of the day, and disbelieve at its end,’ meaning the qiblah when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) faced the Sacred Mosque, ‘so that they might return to our qiblah.’”

قوله تعالى: وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ إِنْ تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنْطَارٍ -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ يَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ [75]

Translation: His saying, the Exalted: “And among the People of the Book is he who, if you entrust him with a heap of wealth, will pay it back to you, and among them is he who, if you entrust him with a dinar, will not pay it back to you unless you keep standing over him … and they tell a lie against Allah while they know.” (Qur’an 3:75, M. H. Shakir)

/1748 _2- قال عليّ بن إبراهيم، في قوله تعالى: وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ إِنْ تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنْطَارٍ يُؤَدِّهِ إِلَيْكَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ إِنْ تَأْمَنْهُ بِدِينَارٍ لَا يُؤَدِّهِ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِمًا ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ سَبِيلٌ: فَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ قَالُوا: يَحِلُّ لَنَا أَنْ نَأْخُذَ مَالَ الْأُمِّيِّينَ. وَ الْأُمِّيُّونَ: الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ كِتَابٌ، فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: وَ يَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ.

/1748 _2- Translation: ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said regarding His saying, the Exalted: “And among the People of the Book is he who, if you entrust him with a heap of wealth, will pay it back to you, and among them is he who, if you entrust him with a dinar, will not pay it back to you unless you keep standing over him; this is because they say: There is no blame on us in respect of the unlearned (al-ummiyyīn)” (Qur’an 3:75, M. H. Shakir): The Jews said, “It is permissible for us to take the wealth of the unlettered.” And “the unlettered” are those who have no Book. So Allah rebutted them, saying: “And they tell a lie against Allah while they know.” (Qur’an 3:75, M. H. Shakir)

قوله تعالى: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولٰئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ [77]

Translation: His saying, the Exalted: “Surely those who take a small price for the covenant of Allah and their own oaths—these shall have no portion in the hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them, nor will He look upon them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful chastisement.” (Qur’an 3:77, M. H. Shakir)
