Among them) among the hypocrites (are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad)) who listen to your Friday sermon (till, when they go forth from your presence) until when they disperse, (they) i.e. the hypocrites (say unto those who have been given knowledge) i. e. 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud: (What was that he) i. e. Muhammad (pbuh) (said just now) from the pulpit? They asked this question in mockery of what the Prophet (pbuh) had just said. (Those) hypocrites (are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed) such that they do not perceive the Truth or guidance, (and they follow their own lusts) because of their secret disbelief, hypocrisy, treachery and enmity towards the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).
- 47:1616
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوا لِلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ مَاذَا قَالَ آنِفًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ
There are some who listen to you; but as soon as they go from you they say to those who were given knowledge: "What is this he is saying now?" They are those whose hearts have been sealed by God, and they follow their own lusts.
