اٰلِ عِمْرَان

Al Imran

HR Background

وَ  اِذْ  اَخَذَ  اللّٰهُ  مِیْثَاقَ  الَّذِیْنَ  اُوْتُوا  الْكِتٰبَ  لَتُبَیِّنُنَّهٗ  لِلنَّاسِ   وَ  لَا  تَكْتُمُوْنَهٗ٘-فَنَبَذُوْهُ  وَرَآءَ  ظُهُوْرِهِمْ  وَ  اشْتَرَوْا  بِهٖ  ثَمَنًا  قَلِیْلًاؕ-فَبِئْسَ   مَا  یَشْتَرُوْنَ(187)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And remember when Allah took an oath from those who were given the Book, “You must relate this Book to the people and you must not conceal it.” Then they discarded this oath behind their backs and in exchange attained a trivial sum.[1] So what an evil purchase this is.

Commentary

[1]

Allah Almighty obliged the scholars of the Torah and Gospel to clearly share the qualities of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mentioned in both scriptures and not conceal such verses. However, they took bribes and concealed the Prophetic qualities found in the Torah and Gospel.
