The verse is a Quranic proverb concerning the Jews of the Prophet's time who refused to convert to Islam notwithstanding explicit notes in their scripture regarding the [[prophethood]] of the Prophet of Islam (s). The verse describes them as non-practical scholars (those who do not act upon what they know). According to some [[hadith]]s, they claimed that they were not addressed by Muhammad's religion. Thus, the Qur'an reminded them that they would not say so had they carefully read their scripture and acted upon it, because their scripture contains the good tidings of the emergence of the Prophet of Islam (s). | The verse is a Quranic proverb concerning the Jews of the Prophet's time who refused to convert to Islam notwithstanding explicit notes in their scripture regarding the [[prophethood]] of the Prophet of Islam (s).<ref>Makārim Shīrāzī, ''Mithālha-yi zībāyi Qur'ān'', vol. 2, p. 267.</ref> The verse describes them as non-practical scholars (those who do not act upon what they know).

A number of [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] [[jurist]]s have appealed to this verse as well as numerous hadiths in order to substantiate the [[obligation]] of the Friday Prayer. However, some of them reject the idea that the verse implies its obligation. To hold the Friday Prayer during the [[Occultation]] of the [[Infallible]] [[Imam (a)]] is a matter of controversy among Shiite jurists; some of them take it to be forbidden, others take it to be an individual obligation ([[al-wajib al-ta'yini]]) and others take it to be an [[Disjunctive obligation]] (al-wajib al-takhyiri). According to jurists who do not consider the Friday Prayer to be an individual obligation during the Occultation of [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]], it is not forbidden for Muslims to engage in sales, purchases, or other transactions after the [[adhan]] of the Friday noon or during the Friday Prayer. | A number of [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] [[jurist]]s have appealed to this verse as well as numerous hadiths<ref>Aḥmad b.
