His saying the Exalted: "I will turn away from My signs"
8982 - It was mentioned from 'Amr al-'Anqazi, from Asbat, from al-Suddi regarding His saying: "I will turn away from My signs those who act arrogantly upon the earth without right," he says: I will prevent them from reflecting upon My signs.
8983 - Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Marwazi told us, 'Abd al-Rahim ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar told me: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said regarding the saying of Allah: "I will turn away from My signs those who act arrogantly upon the earth without right," he says: I will strip away from them the understanding of the Qur'an, thus I will turn them away from My signs.
8984 - My father told us, Ibn Abi al-Hawari told me, al-Walid ibn 'Utbah told us, he said: I heard al-Firyabi saying regarding the saying of Allah: "I will turn away from My signs those who act arrogantly upon the earth without right," he said: I will prevent their hearts from reflecting upon My command.
His saying the Exalted: "And if they see every sign, they will not believe in it."

His saying the Exalted: "And the people of Moses made, after him, from their ornaments"
8986 - 'Ammar ibn Khalid al-Wasiti told us, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan and Yazid ibn Harun—the wording is Muhammad's—told us, from Asbagh ibn Yazid al-Warraq, from al-Qasim ibn Abi Ayyub, Sa'id ibn Jubayr told me, from Ibn 'Abbas, he said: Aaron had addressed them and said: "You have departed from Egypt while you possess trusts belonging to the people of Pharaoh, and borrowed goods, and you have the like of that from them. I am of the opinion that you should withhold what of theirs you have in your possession, and I do not deem it lawful for you to hold a trust you were entrusted with, or a loan; so we shall not return any of that to them, nor shall we keep it for ourselves." He then dug a pit and commanded every group that had something of that—whether it was belongings or ornaments—to cast it into that pit. Then he kindled a fire over it and burned it, and said: "It shall be neither for us nor for them." The Samiri was a man from a group that worshipped cows, neighbors to them, not from the Children of Israel, but he was taken along with the Children of Israel when they were taken. It so happened that he saw a trace, so he took a handful from it and passed by Aaron. Aaron said to him: "O Samiri, will you not throw what is in your hand?" and he was gripping it so no one could see it.
