Transliteration:( Wa laa tuti' kulla hallaa fim maheen )
"And do not yield to any habitual swearer, contemptible."
These verses were revealed concerning Waleed ibn Mugheerah, a leader of the Quraysh, who would insult the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by calling him mad and using other derogatory terms.
In response, the Qur'an outlines ten faults of Waleed, exposing his character. The verses ultimately describe him as a bastard and a scoundrel due to his actions and insults against the Prophet.
This verse highlights that Allah is the Concealer of faults, but when individuals oppose or insult the Prophet, Allah makes their own flaws evident to the public. Those who seek to harm the Prophet will have their own character flaws exposed.
The tafsir of Surah Qalam verse 10 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qalam ayat 8 which provides the complete commentary from verse 8 through 16.
(68:10) And do not yield to any contemptible swearer,[6]
6. The word mahin is used for a contemptible, degraded and mean person. This is indeed a necessary quality of a person who swears many oaths. He swears an oath for every minor thing because he himself has the feeling that the people take him for a liar and would not believe him until he swore an oath. For this reason he is not only degraded in his own eyes but commands no respect in society either.
