The Holy Quran 3:23 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ نَصِيبًا مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَىٰ كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ وَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ

Translation

(However, instead of responding) A group of them then turned away in opposition (to accepting the command of Allaah's Book because of selfish desires and vile opposition).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, the small portion of the Torah, the Injil (Gospel) and other [Scriptures] that has survived their distortions in word and in meaning, or the small share of understanding of the Scripture that they received.
