Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
When these believers hear any false speech from the People of the Book, they turn away from it without paying attention it, and they say addressing those who say such: “For us is the reward of our actions and for you is the reward of your actions. You are safe from us swearing and causing harm. I do not seek to accompany ignorant people, due to the damage and harm it contains for one’s religion and worldly life”.
