Al-Jalalayn Commentary

When you see those who engage in discourse about Our signs the Qur’ān in mockery turn away from them and do not sit with them until they discourse on some other topic. And if immā the letter nūn of the conditional particle in has been assimilated with the extra mā Satan should make you forget read yunsiyannaka or yunassiyannaka and you sit with them then do not sit after the reminder that is after you remember with the evildoing folk the overt noun al-qawm al-zālimīn ‘the evildoing folk’ replaces the third person pronominalisation.

(And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations) those who mock you and mock the Qur'an, (withdraw from them) leave their assembly (until they meddle with another topic) such that they talk about something other than the Qur'an and such that they cease mocking you. (And if the devil cause thee to forget) after being warned against it, (sit not, after the remembrance) after being reminded, (with the congregation of wrong-doers) the idolaters. Allah commanded His Prophet with this in Mecca, but the prophetic Companions found it hard to implement. They were later given dispensation to sit with the idolaters so as to admonish and warn them.
