قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ هَلْ تَنْقِمُونَ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَنْ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَأَنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ﴿۵۹﴾ قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ أُولَئِكَ شَرٌّ مَكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ عَنْ سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ ﴿۶۰﴾ وَإِذَا جَاءُوكُمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَقَدْ دَخَلُوا بِالْكُفْرِ وَهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا بِهِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْتُمُونَ ﴿۶۱﴾

﴾59﴿ Qul yaaa Ahlal Kitaabi hal tanqimoona minnaaa illaaa an aamannaa billaahi wa maaa unzila ilainaa wa maa unzila min qablu wa annna aksarakum faasiqoon
﴾60﴿ Qul hal unabbi'ukum bisharrim min zaalika masoobatan 'indal laah; malla'ana hul laahu wa ghadiba 'alaihi wa ja'ala minhumul qiradata wal khanaazeera wa 'abadat Taaghoot; ulaaa'ika sharrum makaananw wa adallu 'an Sawaaa'is Sabeel

﴾59﴿ Say, People of the Book: You do not know anything bad about us except that we believe in Allah Almighty and in the Book that was revealed to us and the books that were revealed before and because most of you are disobedient
﴾60﴿ Say: Shall I inform you of something much worse than this on the merit of rewarding from Allah the Almighty the one who cursed him, Allah Almighty, and He got angry with him, And made of them monkeys and pigs and anyone who has served the tyrant, Those people are much worse in terms of status and more misguided than the right path
﴾61﴿ And when they come to you, they will say: We have believed, and while they entered in disbelief and left with disbelief, And Allah knows well what they are hiding

[59] In this verse, the third reason is mentioned: your enmity toward us is solely because of our faith and religion — therefore, we cannot form any alliance with you.
This verse also serves as a reason for the previous one — that the mockery of the adhan stems from their hatred of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and since the adhan is a proclamation of tawhid, they detest it.
"Do you resent us for anything other than that..." — the word naqm implies resentment, disapproval, hatred, or seeing something as blameworthy. The only reason for their hatred is mentioned as faith, indicating that the disbelievers’ and polytheists’ enmity toward the believers is purely because of the issue of tawhid.
This same meaning is echoed in verse 126 of Surah Al-A‘raf as well.
[60] In this verse, the fourth reason for abandoning alliance with disbelievers is mentioned: they call the religion of monotheism and the monotheists evil, even though among them there are many who are truly evil. The previous reason (naqm) was an inner motive — this one (verbal abuse) is an outward expression.
This verse responds to what the disbelieving People of the Book had said: "We do not know of any religion worse than yours."
"Mathūbah" — (Question) Since mathūbah is usually used for reward or good recompense, why is it mentioned here along with something evil? (Answer) It is used here in a sarcastic, mocking tone — much like Allah’s saying: "So give them glad tidings of a painful punishment."
"Whom Allah has cursed" — this is in apposition to "those" from earlier, meaning: the religion of those whom Allah has cursed. The added possessive indicates causation — the religion that brought upon them Allah’s curse — referencing sins mentioned in the Qur'an that result in curses, such as hiding the truth and so on.
"And turned some of them into apes and swine" — referring to a religion that led to physical transformation. According to the commentators, the Sabbath-breakers were transformed into apes, and some from the time of ‘Isa (peace be upon him) into swine, such as the companions of the banquet (ma’idah).
"And worshiped the false deity (ṭāghūt)" — referring to the religion of those who worshipped ṭāghūt, including the worship of the calf, the obedience to sorcerers or priests, and any kind of obedience that involves disobedience to Allah the Exalted — all of which existed among the Children of Israel.
"Worse in position" — this could refer to their place in the afterlife, namely Hellfire, or makān could mean status or condition, whether in this world or the hereafter.
[61] In this verse, the fifth reason for avoiding alliance with disbelievers is mentioned. It elaborates on the previous statement about them being evil and more astray, and here it refers specifically to the Jews, who used to do such things to confuse and mislead the believers.
"And Allah knows best what they conceal" — this indicates that the misguidance and evil hidden in their hearts is far beyond what you can perceive or know. Their inner corruption is greater than what appears outwardly.
