فَوَیْلٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ یَكْتُبُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ بِاَیْدِیْهِمْ ۗ ثُمَّ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هٰذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ لِیَشْتَرُوْا بِهٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ؕ فَوَیْلٌ لَّهُمْ مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَوَیْلٌ لَّهُمْ مِّمَّا یَكْسِبُوْنَ ۟

Saheeh International

So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allāh," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir

Misery and great suffering awaits those who write the scripture with their own hands, and then say, falsely, that it comes from Allah, exchanging the truth and guidance for a small gain in this world, such as money or leadership. They will experience misery and suffering because of what their hands have written, through which they told lies about Allah, and for whatever wealth or leadership they may gain through these lies.
