Another phase of their devilish deeds and tricks was to deviate words from their places in order to pervert the meanings. One of the Jewish tricks, was to twist words and expressions so as to ridicule the prophet's teaching. As an instance: When they had to say: We hear and we obey which is a principle of a true believer, they would loudly say: `WE HEAR!' and then they whispered the rest of the sentence: `And we disobey!'

      They also equivocated ambiguous words that are obscure and have more than one interpretation or explanation! For example, Muslims used the word; `RÄINA' which, when, used by Arabs, it may mean: `Please give us time to ponder over what you say.' But the Jews who were among the audience, by a little twist, pronounced the word so that they could reveal its hebraic meaning, which could be: `make a fool of us.' Or, O, you who take us to pasture like a goat or lamb.'

      If they had said; as the attitude of a true believer demands, `We hear and we obey.' and else, `listen to us, and give us time to ponder and meditate over what you say,' it would be far better for them, and indeed more upright. But alas! They went astray, and moved far away from the target which is God's Mercy and Forgiveness, so much so that Allah laid His curse upon them for their unbelief and mischief and only a few among them could be saved and prospered.
