Q 3:78
وَإِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَفَرِيقًا يَلْوُۥنَ أَلْسِنَتَهُم بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لِتَحْسَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
الترجمات
And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. And they speak untruth about Allah while they know.Et il y a parmi eux certains qui roulent leurs langues en lisant le Livre pour vous faire croire que cela provient du Livre, alors qu'il n'est point du Livre; et ils disent: «Ceci vient d'Allah, alors qu'il ne vient point d'Allah. Ils disent sciemment des mensonges contre Allah.التفسير
وإن من اليهود لطائفة يَحْرِفون ألسنتهم بذكر ما ليس من التوراة المنزلة من عند الله، لتظنوا أنهم يقرؤون التوراة، وما هو من التوراة، بل هو من كذبهم وافترائهم على الله، ويقولون: ما نقرؤه منزل من عند الله، وليس هو من عند الله، ويقولون على الله الكذب وهم يعلمون كذبهم على الله ورسله.
اقرأ ابن كثير (ابن كثير (مختصر، بالإنجليزية))
And verily, among them is a party who distort the Book with their tongues, so that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book, and they say: This is from Allah, but it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie against Allah while they know it (78)
The Jews Alter Allah's Words
Allah states that some Jews, may Allah's curses descend on them, distort Allah's Words with their tongues, change them from their appropriate places, and alter their intended meanings. They do this to deceive the ignorant people by making it appear that their words are in the Book of Allah. They attribute their own lies to Allah, even though they know that they have lied and invented falsehood. Therefore, Allah said,
وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
(and they speak a lie against Allah while they know it.)
Mujahid, Ash-Sha'bi, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ar-Rabi' bin Anas said that,
يَلْوُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُم بِالْكِتَابِ
(who distort the Book with their tongues,) means, "They alter them (Allah's Words)."
Al-Bukhari reported that Ibn 'Abbas said that the Ayah means they alter and add although none among Allah's creation can remove the Words of Allah from His Books, they alter and distort their apparent meanings. Wahb bin Munabbih said, "The Tawrah and the Injil remain as Allah revealed them, and no letter in them was removed. However, the people misguide others by addition and false interpretation, relying on books that they wrote themselves. Then,
وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ
(they say: "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah;)
As for Allah's Books, they are still preserved and cannot be changed." Ibn Abi Hatim recorded this statement. However, if Wahb meant the books that are currently in the hands of the People of the Book, then we should state that there is no doubt that they altered, distorted, added to and deleted from them. For instance, the Arabic versions of these books contain tremendous error, many additions and deletions and enormous misinterpretation. Those who rendered these translations have incorrect comprehension in most, rather, all of these translations. If Wahb meant the Books of Allah that He has with Him, then indeed, these Books are preserved and were never changed.
