[Meaning:] Do you ransom them, being believers in that [command], and evict them, being disbelievers in that? "So what is the recompense of those among you who do that, except disgrace in the life of this world; and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be returned to the most severe of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do." Allah says when He informed them of that: "Do you believe in part of the Book and disbelieve in part?" That is, you ransom him by the ruling of the Torah, and you kill him—while the ruling of the Torah is that you should not do so—and you evict him from his home, and you aid against him those who associate partners with Allah and worship idols besides Him in pursuit of worldly goods. This incident was revealed regarding their actions with the Aws and the Khazraj.
