Question

Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and say, ''We hear and disobey'' and ''Hear but be not heard'' and ''Rāʿinā,''[190] twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], ''We hear and obey'' and ''Wait for us [to understand],'' it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allāh has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.[191] مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ وَرَٰعِنَا لَيًّۢا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًا فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ وَٱنظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَأَقْوَمَ وَلَٰكِن لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا 46
