مُحَمَّد : ١٦

  • وَمِنۡهُم And among them
  • مَّن (are some) who
  • يَسۡتَمِعُ listen
  • إِلَيۡكَ to you
  • حَتَّىٰٓ until
  • إِذَا when
  • خَرَجُواْ they depart
  • مِنۡ from
  • عِندِكَ you
  • قَالُواْ they say
  • لِلَّذِينَ to those who
  • أُوتُواْ were given
  • ٱلۡعِلۡمَ the knowledge
  • مَاذَا What
  • قَالَ (has) he said
  • ءَانِفًاۚ just now
  • أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ Those
  • ٱلَّذِينَ (are) the ones
  • طَبَعَ Allah has set a seal
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah has set a seal
  • عَلَىٰ upon
  • قُلُوبِهِمۡ their hearts
  • وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ and they follow
  • أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ their desires
And among them, [O Muḥammad], are those who listen to you, until when they depart from you, they say to those who were given knowledge,1 "What has he said just now?" Those are the ones of whom Allāh has sealed over their hearts and who have followed their [own] desires.
Footnotes
1 From among the Prophet's companions.
And there are some among them, namely, the disbelievers, who listen to you, during the Friday sermon - and these are the hypocrites; until, when they go forth from you, they say to those who have been given knowledge, that is to say, to the knowledgeable ones among the Companions [of the Prophet], such as ['Abd Allaah] Ibn Mas'ood and ['Abd Allaah] Ibn 'Abbaas, in derision and mockery: 'What was he saying just now?' (read aanifan or anifan, meaning al-saa'a, 'just now'). In other words, [they mean to say] 'we will not go back to [listen to] him again'. Those are the ones on whose hearts God has set a seal, of disbelief, and who follow their own desires, in [acting with] hypocrisy.
