وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ كِتَـٰبَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿101﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

And when there came to them a Messenger from Allâh (i.e. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allâh behind their backs as if they did not know!

It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 101) That is, all those qualities were present in the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) which were mentioned in the Torah and other heavenly books { ”لِمَا مَعَهُمْ“ } regarding the Last Prophet. In this respect, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was a complete fulfillment of the Torah and the other heavenly books {”لِمَا مَعَهُمْ“} that were with them, but such was the misfortune of the Jews that when he came to them, they denied him and threw the Torah behind their backs, as if they did not even know their own book. (Ibn Kathir)

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

11. 1 Addressing the Prophet ﷺ, Allah Almighty is saying that We have granted you ﷺ many clear signs, upon seeing which even the Jews should have believed. Moreover, in their own book, the Torah, there is mention of your ﷺ qualities and a covenant to believe in you ﷺ, but when have they ever cared about any covenant before, that they would care about this one? Breaking covenants has always been the habit of their group. To the extent that they threw behind their backs the Book of Allah Almighty as if they do not even know it.

101. And whenever a messenger from Allah came to them, confirming what was with them, a group from those who were given the Book cast the Book of Allah behind their backs [117], as if they did not know.

[117]
The Jews’ Setting Aside of the Verses:

Here, once again, the Jews are reproached for their conduct: that according to the signs mentioned in the Torah, the Jews fully recognized the Last Prophet ﷺ. But after refusing to believe, they disregarded those parts of the Book as if they had never known them at all.
