Commentary

And when he mentioned their misguidance by their own will; and their desire to refer to the tyrant; he mentioned their action in their aversion to referring to the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him; so he said: ﴿And when it is said to them﴾; meaning: from any speaker; ﴿Come﴾; meaning: come forward, raising yourselves from the depths of ignorance to the honor of knowledge; ﴿to what Allah has revealed﴾; meaning: that which has everything in it; ﴿and to the Messenger﴾; meaning: the one whose obedience is obligatory, due to his sender; although he is the most complete of the messengers, who are the most complete of creation in their message; you saw them - this was the original state -; but he revealed the description that indicated their lies regarding what they claimed of faith; so he said: ﴿You see the hypocrites turning away﴾; meaning: they are turning away ﴿from you﴾; and he emphasized that with his saying: ﴿turning away﴾; meaning: it is in the highest degrees of turning away.
