And among them, [O Muhammad], are those who listen to you, until when they depart from you, they say to those who were given knowledge, "What has he said just now?" Those are the ones of whom Allah has sealed over their hearts and who have followed their [own] desires.
Tafseer
{ ومنهم } أي الكفار { من يستمع إليك } في خطبة الجمعة وهم المنافقون { حتى إذا خرجوا من عندك قالوا للذين أوتوا العلم } لعلماء الصحابة منهم ابن مسعود وابن عباس استهزاء وسخرية { ماذا قال آنفا } بالمد والقصر، الساعة، أي لا نرجع إليه { أولئك الذين طبع الله على قلوبهم بالكفر { واتبعوا أهواءهم } في النفاق .
{And among them} meaning the disbelievers {are those who listen to you} in the Friday sermon, and they are the hypocrites {until, when they leave you, they say to those who were given knowledge} to the scholars of the Companions, including Ibn Mas`ud and Ibn Abbas, mockingly and ridiculingly {What did he say just now} with a long and short vowel, the moment, meaning we will not return to him {those are the ones upon whose hearts Allah has sealed disbelief {and they follow their desires} in hypocrisy.
