16

And there are some among them, namely, the disbelievers, who listen to you, during the Friday sermon - and these are the hypocrites; until, when they go forth from you, they say to those who have been given knowledge, that is to say, to the knowledgeable ones among the Companions [of the Prophet], such as ['Abd Allāh] Ibn Mas'ūd and ['Abd Allāh] Ibn ‘Abbās, in derision and mockery: 'What was he saying just now?' (read ānifan or anifan, meaning al-sā'a, 'just now'). In other words, [they mean to say] 'we will not go back to [listen to] him again'. Those are the ones on whose hearts Allahu ta’ālā has set a seal, of disbelief, and who follow their own desires, in [acting with] hypocrisy.
