Ibn Jarir at-Tabari (d. 310H) said: Allah (jalla jalaluhu - may his glory be glorified) says, whoever conceals the Hukm of Allah, which He revealed in His Book and made it a law between the slaves; so he hides it and rules with other than it like the Hukm of the Jews concerning the married fornicators with whipping of the guilty and blackening their faces and concealing the Hukm of stoning and like their judging upon some of their murdered with full blood-money and some with half of their blood-money. And concerning the noble people, they would have Qisaas but the commoner would only get the blood money. But Allah made all of them equal in the Tawrat:…such are the Kafirun. They are the ones who concealed the truth, which was upon them to uncover and make clear. And they hid it from the people and they showed something different to the people and they judged according to that (changed Hukm) because of a bribe they took from them. [Tabari, Tafsir, 4/592]
