The Rumour-Mongers
۞لَّئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضࣱ وَٱلۡمُرۡجِفُونَ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ لَنُغۡرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُونَكَ فِيهَآ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣰا ٦٠
If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbours in it but a little while.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
If the hypocrites and those who spread rumours in Medina do not cease, We will let you overpower them.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, these are those who do not give up hypocrisy and the morals that lead to it, with disease in their hearts.
Reflect
Beware of spreading bad news.
