Overall meaning : Allah Almighty says to His Prophet, Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: You see many Jews rush headlong into sin, hasten to violate people’s rights and take their property wrongfully. Evil indeed is what they do! Why do their scholars and rabbis not forbid them to make false and sinful assertions and acquire ill-gotten gains? Evil indeed are the abominable doings of their scholars and rabbis!
The Almighty then mentions that the Jews describe Him as being tight-fisted, claiming that ‘His hand is tied up’ and so He does not spend enough—Exalted is He above what they claim! In response to such a false claim, He says: Tied up be their own hands, and be they excluded from His mercy and grace for forging such lies! The truth is not what we say it is or claim it to be! Indeed, His hands are both outstretched: He gives and spends of His bounty as He pleases.
Then he informs His Prophet, Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that the Qur’anic revelations He sends down to him will surely increase the transgression and unbelief of many Jews who hear them. He has cast enmity and hatred among the Jews to last until Resurrection Day; every time they light the fire of war He extinguishes it; they hasten to spread corruption and evil in the land, but He does not like the evildoers who spread corruption.
