Q 9:61

وَمِنْهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ ۚ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Translations

And among them are those who abuse the Prophet and say, "He is an ear." Say, "[It is] an ear of goodness for you that believes in Allah and believes the believers and [is] a mercy to those who believe among you." And those who abuse the Messenger of Allah - for them is a painful punishment.
Sahih International · EN
Et il en est parmi eux ceux qui font du tort au Prophète et disent: «Il est tout oreille». - Dis: «Une oreille pour votre bien. Il croit en Allah et fait confiance aux croyants, et il est une miséricorde pour ceux d'entre vous qui croient. Et ceux qui font du tort au Messager d'Allah auront un châtiment douloureux».

Tafsir

Among the hypocrites are those who hurt the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) through their words, saying, because of his great kindness, that he listens to everyone and believes whatever they say, and does not distinguish between what is true and what is not. The Messenger (peace be upon him) is told to say to them that he only listens to what is best for them. He has faith in Allah and believes what the believers tell him. Those who harm the Messenger (peace be upon him), in any way, will receive a painful punishment.

Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
And among them are men who annoy the Prophet and say: "He is (lending his) ear (to every news)." Say: "He listens to what is best for you; he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers; and is a mercy to those of you who believe." But those who annoy Allah's Messenger, will have a painful torment (61) Hypocrites annoy the Prophet (ﷺ) Allah says, some hypocrites bother the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by questioning his character, saying, هُوَ أُذُنٌ (he is (lending his) ear), to those who say anything about us; he believes whoever talks to him. Therefore, if we went to him and swore, he would believe us. Similar was reported from Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah. Allah said, قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ (Say: "He listens to what is best for you"), he knows who's saying the truth and who is lying, يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers), he believes the believers, وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ (and is a mercy to those of you who believe"), and a proof against the disbelievers, وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (But those who annoy Allah's Messenger, will have a painful torment.)
