Indeed We sent down the Torah in it is guidance from the misguidance, and a clarification for the rulings, and the prophets-those who submitted to the judgment of Allah, and acknowledged it-judged by it between the Jews, and did not go out from its judgment nor did they distort it, and the worshippers of the Jews and their scholars who nurture the people by the law of Allah judged by it; that was because their prophets had surely entrusted them on the conveyance of the Torah, and the understanding of the Book of Allah and the action by it, and the Rabbis and the scholars were witnesses on that their prophets had surely judged in the Jews by the Book of Allah. And He the Exalted says to the scholars of the Jews and their rabbis: "So do not fear the people in the implementation of My judgment; for indeed they are not capable on your benefit nor your harm, but fear Me for indeed I am the Beneficial the Harmful, and do not take by the leaving of the judgment by what I sent down a base exchange." The judgment by other than what Allah sent down is of the deeds of the people of disbelief, for those who change the judgment of Allah which He sent down in His Book, then hide it and reject it and judge by other than it believing its lawfulness and its permissibility then those are the disbelievers.
