  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

11. Waleed bin Mugheerah would tell his family members that if they would accept Islam would deprive them from his wealth. From his we learn that stopping people from good eeds is the peculiar habit of Mugheerah and a likes.

12. Ill-manner. This reflects poor behaviour and abusive language. Both these vices belong to the infidels. The believers need to stay far away from them. You must always be of soft nature and tongue extremely sweet.

Ibn-Kathir

(68:12) the hinderer of good,[7] the transgressor, the sinful;[8]

Ala-Maududi

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.
