The Cow · Verse 101 of 286
وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

(This is not all.) When (finally) there has come to them a Messenger from God, confirming what (of the truth) they already possess, a party of those who were given the Book (the Torah) have (instead of paying heed to what it contains concerning the Last Messenger) flung the Book of God (the Qur’an) behind their backs, as if they did not know (that it is a Book from God and that the Messenger who has brought it is the Last Prophet they have been anticipating.)

Commentary 2:101 The Israelites had pledged to their own Prophets that they would accept the Prophet who was to appear from among their brethren. Now when the Prophet has…
وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
2:101 The Israelites had pledged to their own Prophets that they would accept the Prophet who was to appear from among their brethren. Now when the Prophet has come with an illuminating Book, they reject and break their covenant. This commitment finds mention in their own Book. Kitâb-Allâh كِتَابَ اللَّه - the Book of Allâh - refers to their own Book, the Torah and not to the Holy Qur’ân.
