And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] silver coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it]. That is because they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned." And they speak untruth about Allah while they know [it].
Tafseer
{ ومن أهل الكتاب من إن تأمنه بقنطار } أي بمال كثير { يؤدَّه إليك } لأمانته كعبد الله بن سلام أودعه رجل ألفا ومائتي أوقية ذهبا فأعادها إليه { ومنهم من إن تأمنه بدينار لا يؤده إليك } لخيانته { إلا ما دمت عليه قائما } لا تفارقه فمتى فارقته أنكره ككعب بن الأشرف استودعه قرشي دينارا فجحده { ذلك } أي ترك الأداء { بأنهم قالوا } بسبب قولهم { ليس علينا في الأميين } أي العرب { سبيل } أي إثم لاستحلالهم ظلم من خالف دينهم ونسبوه إليه تعالى، قال تعالى { ويقولون على الله الكذب } في نسبة ذلك إليه { وهم يعلمون } أنهم كاذبون .
