The Holy Quran 5:79 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

كَانُوا۟ لَا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَن مُّنكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ

Translation

(Among the reasons for which they were cursed was that) They would never prevent each other (did not abstain) from the evil that they used to carry out. Evil indeed was that which they did (not preventing each other from sinful acts). (Failing to stop evil when able to do so is a major sin.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

كان هؤلاء اليهود يُجاهرون بالمعاصي ويرضونها، ولا يَنْهى بعضُهم بعضًا عن أيِّ منكر فعلوه، وهذا من أفعالهم السيئة، وبه استحقوا أن يُطْرَدُوا من رحمة الله تعالى.
