The Holy Quran 5:64 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَدُ ٱللَّهِ مَغْلُولَةٌ ۚ غُلَّتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَلُعِنُوا۟ بِمَا قَالُوا۟ ۘ بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيْفَ يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا ۚ وَأَلْقَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ ٱلْعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ كُلَّمَآ أَوْقَدُوا۟ نَارًا لِّلْحَرْبِ أَطْفَأَهَا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَسَادًا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

Translation

(When Allaah does not give them enough wealth) The Jews say, "Allaah's hand is tied up!" (Rather) It is their hands that are tied up (because of their proverbial stinginess) and they have been cursed (thrown far from Allaah's mercy) because of what (lies and disrespectful things) they say. Indeed Allaah's hands are spread out wide (He is Most Generous), He spends as He pleases (He gives wealth to whoever He pleases). Verily that (Qur'aan) which has been revealed to you from your Rabb shall be a cause for increasing the defiance and kufr of many of them (because of their spitefulness, they increase their mischief, transgression and sinful behaviour). We have cast enmity and hatred between them until the Day of Judgement (because of which they will always be fighting). Whenever they light the flames of war (against the Muslims), Allaah extinguishes it (and they always fail to destroy Islaam). They spread corruption in the world and Allaah does not like those who spread corruption (and will punish them for it).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

يُطلع الله نَبِيَّه على شيء من مآثم اليهود -وكان مما يُسرُّونه فيما بينهم- أنهم قالوا: يد الله محبوسة عن فعل الخيرات، بَخِلَ علينا بالرزق والتوسعة، وذلك حين لحقهم جَدْب وقحط. غُلَّتْ أيديهم، أي: حبست أيديهم هم عن فِعْلِ الخيرات، وطردهم الله من رحمته بسبب قولهم.
