آية: 44

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدٗى وَنُورٞۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِي ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

(44) Indeed We have sent down the Torah in which there is guidance and light; by it the Prophets who ˹devoutly˺ submitted, the godly^[1184], and the rabbis judge among the Jews because they were entrusted with preserving the Book of Allah and that they were witnesses to it. So do not fear people but fear Me and do not trade my Signs for a pittance^[1185]—whoever does not judge by what Allah sent down then those are the Deniers.

[1184] al-Rabbāniyyūn (sing. rabbānī) are men of encyclopaedic knowledge both religious and worldly. This includes the wise scholar, the Mindful jurisprudent, the reforming teacher and the person who enjoins others to uphold the lesser teachings of religion as much as the major ones (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt).
[1185] Those who were entrusted with preserving the Book of God, the Torah, at the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) are especially cautioned not to make fear of influential people nor following their vain desires and greed put them off from fulfilling their task of safeguarding it against alteration and distortion (cf. Ibn ʿĀdil). The guardians of Divine law should bear the fear of God first and foremost in their minds and not that of fellow men. They should pronounce the judgement of God as found in His Writ irrespective of the status or influence of the person who is affected by it. Nor are they to be swayed by bribes and worldly gains (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
