﴿ وَدَّت طَّآئِفَةٌۭ مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَوْ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴾

“Some of the followers of earlier revelation would love to lead you astray: yet none do they lead astray but themselves, and perceive it not.”

When the Jews called Mu‘ādh b. Jabal Hudhayfa b. al-Yamān and ‘Ammār b. Yāsir to join their religion the following was revealed There is a party of the People of the Scripture who yearn to make you go astray; yet they cause none to stray except themselves because the sin for their leading others astray falls upon them while the believers do not heed them in this; but they are not aware of this.
