* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ لَوْلاَ يَنْهَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَٱلأَحْبَارُ عَن قَوْلِهِمُ ٱلإِثْمَ وَأَكْلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ }

(Why do not the rabbis) the recluse in their cloisters (and the priests) the men of knowledge (forbid their evil speaking) their idolatry (and their devouring of illicit gain) bribery and that which unlawful? (Verily evil is their handiwork) their abstention from forbidding them to do so.
