An-Nisa 4:46 من الذين هادوا يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ويقولون سمعنا وعصينا واسمع غير مسمع وراعنا ليا بالسنتهم وطعنا في الدين ولو انهم قالوا سمعنا واطعنا واسمع وانظرنا لكان خيرا لهم واقوم ولاكن لعنهم الله بكفرهم فلا يومنون الا قليلا ٤٦

4:46
مِّنَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
هَادُواْ
يُحَرِّفُونَ
ٱلۡكَلِمَ
عَن
مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ
وَيَقُولُونَ
سَمِعۡنَا
وَعَصَيۡنَا
وَٱسۡمَعۡ
غَيۡرَ
مُسۡمَعٖ
وَرَٰعِنَا
لَيَّۢا
بِأَلۡسِنَتِهِمۡ
وَطَعۡنٗا
فِي
ٱلدِّينِۚ
وَلَوۡ
أَنَّهُمۡ
قَالُواْ
سَمِعۡنَا
وَأَطَعۡنَا
وَٱسۡمَعۡ
وَٱنظُرۡنَا
لَكَانَ
خَيۡرٗا
لَّهُمۡ
وَأَقۡوَمَ
وَلَٰكِن
لَّعَنَهُمُ
ٱللَّهُ
بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ
فَلَا
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلٗا

Some Jews take words out of context and say, “We listen and we disobey,” “Hear! May you never hear,” and “Râ’ina!” [Herd us!]—playing with words and discrediting the faith. Had they said ˹courteously˺, “We hear and obey,” “Listen to us,” and “Unẓurna,” [Tend to us!] it would have been better for them and more proper. Allah has condemned them for their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few.

44. Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who were given a portion of the Scriptures yet trade it for misguidance and wish to see you deviate from the ˹Right˺ Path? 45. Allah knows best who your enemies are! And Allah is sufficient as a Guardian, and He is sufficient as a Helper. 46. Some Jews take words out of context and say, “We listen and we disobey,” “Hear! May you never hear,” and “Râ’ina!” [Herd us!]—playing with words and discrediting the faith.
