The Shaykh : Then the author said: "A chapter on the similarity between those who distort the texts and the Jews, who inherited distortion from them, and the innocence of the people of affirmation from this charge leveled against them"
"This" means this aforementioned matter. "And there is" means that there exists. "A hidden affliction*** in them, which I will reveal to you with explanation"
The pronoun "in them" refers to the people of figurative interpretation who distort the texts.
"The distorter inherited from the Jews, and they are the people of dis***tortion, alteration, and concealment"
Is that how it is with you? "The distorter inherited" means that the distorter inherited from the Jews, and the Jews are the people of distortion, alteration, and concealment. There is no doubt that the Jews are among the greatest of nations in distorting the texts of the Book. They distorted the Torah, tore it apart, and abandoned acting upon it, and they disbelieved in it. So whoever from this Ummah is a distorter has inherited from them.
