Some, group, from among the Jews distort, alter, the words, that Allahu ta’ālā revealed in the Torah pertaining to the descriptions of Muhammad "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , from their contexts, those [contexts] in which they were placed, and they say, to the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , when he commands them something, 'We have heard, your words, and we disobey, your command; and hear as one who does not hear' (wa'sma' ghayr musma'in is a circumstantial qualifier, functioning as an invocation, in other words, 'And may you not hear!') and, they say to him, 'Mind us' (rā'inā), [a term] with which it had been forbidden to address him, being a curse word in their language; twisting, distorting, with their tongues and slandering, defaming, religion, Islam. If they had said, 'We have heard and obey', instead of 'And we disobey', and, only, 'Hear', and 'Consider us,' (unzur ilaynā) instead of rā'inā, it would have been better for them, than what they said, and more upright, more just than that, but Allahu ta’ālā has cursed them, removing them from His mercy, for their unbelief, so they believe not except a few, among them, such as 'Abd Allāh b. Salām and his companions.
