Transliteration:( Mannaa'il lilkhairi mu'tadin aseem )
"Forbidder of good, transgressor, sinful."
Waleed ibn Mugheerah would threaten his family members, warning them that if they accepted Islam, they would be deprived of his wealth. This behavior reflects his habit of stopping people from doing good—a characteristic common among those who reject the truth.
The verse also highlights the poor behavior and abusive language that were typical of the disbelievers like Waleed. Such actions are vices that believers should avoid at all costs.
Believers are encouraged to maintain a soft nature and speak with sweetness, ensuring their conduct aligns with the principles of kindness and respect.

7. Khayr in Arabic is used both for wealth and for good. If it is taken in the meaning of wealth, the meaning would be that he is miserly and stingy; he would not even spend a farthing on anyone. And if khayr is taken in the meaning of goodness and virtue, it would mean that he creates a hindrance in every good work as well as that he is very active in hindering the people from accepting Islam.
8. The word utul is used for a person who is stout and strong and greedy in eating and drinking and is also illmannered, quarrelsome and cruel at the same time.
