Al-Baqarah · Ayah 79 · Juz 1 · Page 12

فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكۡتُبُونَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِأَيۡدِيهِمۡ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَٰذَا مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَشۡتَرُواْ بِهِۦ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لَّهُم مِّمَّا كَتَبَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَوَيۡلٞ لَّهُم مِّمَّا يَكۡسِبُونَ ٧٩

Fawaylul lil-ladhīna yaktubūnal-kitāba biʾaydīhim thumma yaqūlūna hādhā min ʿindillāhi liyashtarū bihī thamanan qalīlā, fawaylul lahum mimmā katabat aydīhim wa waylul lahum mimmā yaksibūn.

So woe1 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.

Translation: Sahih International
