سُوْرَةُ المَآئِدَةِ
Surah Al-Maaida (5) — Ayah 47
وَلْيَحْكُمْ أَهْلُ ٱلْإِنجِيلِ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ ﴿47﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allâh has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fâsiqûn [the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree)] to Allâh.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). 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 47) {وَ لْيَحْكُمْ اَهْلُ الْاِنْجِيْلِ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فِيْهِ ……:} For the people of the Gospel, to judge according to what Allah has revealed means that it is obligatory upon them not to conceal or attempt to misinterpret the prophecies and evidences regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) that Allah Almighty has revealed in the Gospel. Rather, according to the command of the Gospel, they should become Muslims and judge according to the Qur’an and Sunnah. And whoever does not judge according to what Allah has revealed, then they are disobedient, for they did not accept the command of Allah revealed in their own book.
