* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَدَّت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَابِ لَوْ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلاَّ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ }

Allah mentions, then, how Ka'b al-Ashraf invited some of the companions of Allah's Messenger (pbuh)-Mu'adh [Ibn Jabal], Hudhayfa [Ibn al-Yaman] and 'Ammar [Ibn Yasir]-to join their religion (Judaism) and leave Islam, after the Battle of Uhud, saying: (A party of the people of the Scripture long to make you go astray) from your Religion, Islam; (and they make none to go astray) from the religion of Allah (except themselves, but they perceive not) this; it is also said that this means: they perceive not that Allah informs His Prophet of this.
