وَقَالَتِ
الْيَهُودُ
يَدُ
اللَّهِ
مَغْلُولَةٌ
غُلَّتْ
أَيْدِيهِمْ
وَلُعِنُوا
بِمَا
قَالُوا
بَلْ
يَدَاهُ
مَبْسُوطَتَانِ
يُنفِقُ
كَيْفَ
يَشَاءُ
وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ
كَثِيرًا
مِّنْهُم
مَّا
أُنزِلَ
إِلَيْكَ
مِن
رَّبِّكَ
طُغْيَانًا
وَكُفْرًا
وَأَلْقَيْنَا
بَيْنَهُمُ
الْعَدَاوَةَ
وَالْبَغْضَاءَ
إِلَى
يَوْمِ
الْقِيَامَةِ
كُلَّمَا
أَوْقَدُوا
نَارًا
لِّلْحَرْبِ
أَطْفَأَهَا
اللَّهُ
وَيَسْعَوْنَ
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
فَسَادًا
وَاللَّهُ
لَا
يُحِبُّ
الْمُفْسِدِينَ

The Jews say, ‘Allah’s hand is tied up.’ Tied up be their hands, and cursed be they for what they say! No, His hands are wide open: He bestows as He wishes. Surely many of them will be increased in rebellion and unfaith by what has been sent to you from your Lord, and We have cast enmity and hatred amongst them until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they ignite the flames of war, Allah puts them out. They seek to cause corruption on the earth, and Allah does not like the agents of corruption.
— Ali Quli Qarai
The Jews say: "Allah's hand is tied up." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loveth not those who do mischief.
