﴿وَلَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّقَوۡا۟ لَكَفَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ سَیِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَأَدۡخَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ ٦٥﴾ - تفسير
٢٣٠١٨- عن قتادة بن دِعامة -من طريق سعيد- في قوله: ﴿ولو أن أهل الكتاب آمنوا واتقوا﴾، قال: آمَنوا بما أنزَل الله، واتَّقَوا ما حرَّم الله[[أخرجه ابن جرير ٨/٥٦٢، وابن أبي حاتم ٤/١١٦٩، ١١٧٠ (٦٥٩٢، ٦٥٩٣). وينظر: تفسير ابن أبي زمنين ٢/٣٧. وعزاه السيوطي إلى عبد بن حميد، وابن المنذر، وأبي الشيخ.]]. (٥/٣٧٨)
٢٣٠١٩- قال مقاتل بن سليمان: ﴿ولَوْ أنَّ أهْلَ الكِتابِ﴾ يعني: اليهود والنصارى ﴿آمَنُوا﴾ يعني: صدَّقوا بتوحيد الله، ﴿واتَّقَوْا﴾ الشرك؛ ﴿لَكَفَّرْنا عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ﴾ يعني: لمحونا عنهم ذنوبهم، ﴿ولَأَدْخَلْناهُمْ جَنّاتِ النَّعِيمِ﴾[[تفسير مقاتل بن سليمان ١/٤٩١.]]. (ز)
﴿وَلَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّقَوۡا۟ لَكَفَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ سَیِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَأَدۡخَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ ٦٥﴾ - آثار متعلقة بالآية
٢٣٠٢٠- عن مالك بن دينار -من طريق رباح القيسي- قال: جناتُ النعيم بين جنات الفردوس وبين جناتِ عدْن، وفيها جَوارٍ خُلِقْن مِن وردِ الجنة. قيل: فمَن يَسْكُنُها؟ قال: الذين همُّوا بالمعاصي، فلمّا ذكَروا عظمة الله جل جلاله راقَبوه[[أخرجه ابن أبي حاتم ٤/١١٧٠ (٦٥٩٤). وعزاه السيوطي إلى أبي الشيخ.]]. (٥/٣٧٩)

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ لَكَفَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُمۡ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٦٥
And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared Allāh, We would have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure.
5:66
وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ أَقَامُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ لَأَكَلُواْ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَمِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِهِمۚ مِّنۡهُمۡ أُمَّةٞ مُّقۡتَصِدَةٞۖ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا يَعۡمَلُونَ ٦٦
And if only they had upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān], they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet.1 Among them are a moderate [i.e., acceptable] community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.

5:67
۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ وَإِن لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلۡ فَمَا بَلَّغۡتَ رِسَالَتَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡصِمُكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٦٧
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allāh will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
5:68
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَسۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡۗ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗاۖ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٦٨
Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān]." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.
5:69
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّٰبِـُٔونَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ ٦٩
Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those [before him (ﷺ)] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.1

5:70
لَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَا مِيثَٰقَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ رُسُلٗاۖ كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولُۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُهُمۡ فَرِيقٗا كَذَّبُواْ وَفَرِيقٗا يَقۡتُلُونَ ٧٠
We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.
