وَتَرَى كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
You see many of them actively engaged in sin and aggression, and consuming illicit gains. Surely, evil is what they have been doing.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 5:62
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 5:62] Suht is any income earned by forbidden means. Please refer to Isiah 1: 23- 56: 11: ;59: 27; and Micah 3: 10, 11; and Proverbs 1 :16, wherein the Old Testament, inspite of being profusely corrupted, confirms that which is stated in this verse about the Jews. "Their rulers sell justice, their priests give directions in return for a bribe" says verse 11 of Micah. From the lowest of them even unto the greatest of them every one was given to covetousness. Verse 63 lays down the basis of amr bil ma-ruf and nahya anil munkar (refer to Ali Imran: 110).
