22:13

يَدْعُوا۟ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقْرَبُ مِن نَّفْعِهِۦ ۚ لَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْعَشِيرُ ١٣

Saheeh International

He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

يَدْعُو لَمَن ضَرُّهُ أَقْرَبُ مِن نَّفْعِهِHe calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his profit;means, he is more likely to harm him than benefit him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will most certainly cause him harm.لَبِيْسَ الْمَوْلَى وَلَبِيْسَ الْعَشِيرُcertainly an evil Mawla and certainly an evil `Ashir!Mujahid said,"This means the idols."The meaning is:"How evil a friend is this one upon whom he calls instead of Allah as a helper and supporter."وَلَبِيْسَ الْعَشِيرُand certainly an evil `Ashir!means the one with whom one mixes and spends one's time
