It has been revealed (read active nazzala, 'He has revealed', or passive nuzzila, 'It has been revealed') to you in the Book, in the Qur'ān, in sūrat al-An'ām [Q. 6:68], that: (an has been softened and its subject omitted, in other words, [read it as] annahu) 'When you hear Allah’s āyāt/verses, the Qur'ān, being disbelieved in and mocked, do not sit with them, that is, the disbelievers and the mockers, until they engage in some other talk, for otherwise you, if you were to sit with them, would surely be like them', in sinfulness. Allahu ta’ālā will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into Hell, just as they were gathered together in this world in unbelief and mockery.
