They have exchanged the signs of Allāh for a small price and averted [people] from His way. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.
They have purchased with the signs of God, Al-Qur'an, a small price, of this world, that is, they have refrained from following them in favour of passions and whims, and have barred [people] from His way, His religion. Truly evil is that, deed of theirs, which they are wont to do.
