بند نود و پنجم

Again in another instance, He saith: “Woe unto those who, with their own hands, transcribe the Book corruptly, and then say: ‘This is from God,’ that they may sell it for some mean price.”66 This verse was revealed with reference to the divines and leaders of the Jewish Faith.

These divines, in order to please the rich, acquire worldly emoluments, and give vent to their envy and misbelief, wrote a number of treatises, refuting the claims of Muhammad, supporting their arguments with such evidences as it would be improper to mention, and claimed that these arguments were derived from the text of the Pentateuch.

“و در موضع ديگر می فرمايد: “فَوَيلٌ لِلَّذينَ يَکتُبُونَ الکتَابَ بِاَيديهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَذا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّهِ لِيشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَناً قَليلاً. ” الی آخر الآيه. و اين آيه در شأن علمای يهود و بزرگان ايشان نازل شد که آن علماء به واسطه استرضای خاطر اغنياء و استجلاب زخارف دنيا و اظهار غلّ و کفر، الواحی چند بر ردّ حضرت نوشتند و به دلائلی چند مستدلّ شدند که ذکر آنها جائز نه، و نسبت دادند ادلّه های خود را که از اسفار تورات مستفاد گشته. “
