سُوْرَةُ الْحَجِّ
Surah Al-Hajj (22) — Ayah 9
ثَانِىَ عِطْفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ لَهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ ۖ وَنُذِيقُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿9﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allâh), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allâh. For him there is disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
9. 1. Thani is an active participle, meaning "the one who turns." "Atf" means "side." This is a circumstantial qualifier from "yujadil." In this, the condition of the person is described who argues about Allah without any rational or transmitted proof, that he, with arrogance and aversion, turns his neck and walks about, just as in other places this condition is mentioned in these words: (وَلّٰى مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا) 31. Luqman:7) (لَوَّوْا رُءُوْسَهُمْ) 63. Al-Munafiqun:5) (اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖ) 17. Al-Isra:83)
