Tafseer Ibn Kathir

And keep away from Ar-Rujz!

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas,

"Ar-Rujz are idols, so keep away from them."

Similar to this was said by Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah, Az-Zuhri and Ibn Zayd,

"Verily, it is the idols."

This is like Allah's statement,

يأَيُّهَا النَّبِىِّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلاأَ تُطِعِ الْكَـفِرِينَ وَالْمُنَـفِقِينَ

O Prophet!

have Taqwa of Allah, and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites. (33;1)

and Allah's statement,

وَقَالَ مُوسَى لاًّخِيهِ هَـرُونَ اخْلُفْنِى فِى قَوْمِى وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

And Musa said to his brother Harun;

"Replace me among my people, act well and follow not way of the corrupters." (7;142)

Then Allah says,

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ
