Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Condemnation of commanding Others to observe Righteousnesswhile ignoring RighteousnessAllah said, "How is it, O People of the Book, that you command people to perform Al-Birr, which encompasses all types of righteousness, yet forget yourselves and do not heed what you call others to And you read Allah's Book (the Tawrah) and know what it promises to those who do not fulfill Allah's commandments.
