Translation of the meanings Ayah: (9) Surah: At-Tawbah
ٱشۡتَرَوۡاْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗا فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
(9) [2028]They traded off the Signs of Allah for a pittance[2029] and hence turned ˹people˺ away from His path[2030]—sordid indeed what they used to ˹persistently˺ commit.
[2028] More explicatory reasons are given here as to why these should be side-lined (cf. al-Biqāʿī, Naẓm al-Durar).
[2029] Although these community leaders came to know full well, especially after the Conquest of Makkah, the truthfulness of the Message, they preferred the worldly gains they reaped by virtue of their deviance (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[2030] In order to maintain the status quo and their source of income, they barred their folks from embracing the call and blocked their way to it (cf. al-Wāḥidī, al-Basīṭ, al-Shinqīṭī, al-ʿAdhb al-Namīr).
