The Holy Quran 3:77 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَـٰقَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Translation

Verily those who (because of their greed for wealth and fame) purchase a small gain (of this world) at the cost of (breaking) Allaah's covenant (with them) and (at the cost of breaking) their oaths (that they make with others by way of aiding every prophet, but because of greed for wealth and fame broke it), such people have no portion (of good) in the Aakhirah. Allaah will neither speak to them (with compassion) nor look at them (with mercy) on the Day of Qiyaamah, and will not purify (forgive) them. They shall have a painful punishment.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, those who, for the paltry goods of this world, break Allah’s covenant and their mutual oaths: they neither keep their mutual dealings straight nor stand by the word and pledge they gave to Allah, but out of greed for wealth and status keep changing the rulings of the shariah and distorting the heavenly scriptures. Their end is mentioned next.
