came in unbelief and they went out in the same; and Allah knoweth best
what they were hiding.
S: And when they come to you, they say: We believe; and indeed they come
in with unbelief and indeed they go forth with it; and Allah knows best
what they concealed.

Y: Many of them dost thou see, racing each other in sin and rancour, and
their eating of things forbidden. Evil indeed are the things that they
do.
P: And thou seest many of them vying one with another in sin and
transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what
they do.
