قل هل انبيكم بشر من ذالك مثوبة عند الله من لعنه الله وغضب عليه وجعل منهم القردة والخنازير وعبد الطاغوت اولايك شر مكانا واضل عن سواء السبيل ٦٠
قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّۢ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْقِرَدَةَ وَٱلْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ شَرٌّۭ مَّكَانًۭا وَأَضَلُّ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ٦٠

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Shall I inform you of those who deserve a worse punishment from Allah ˹than the rebellious˺? It is those who earned Allah’s condemnation and displeasure—some being reduced to apes and pigs1 and worshippers of false gods. These are far worse in rank and farther astray from the Right Way.”

Readings:
وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ
wa-ʿabada ṭ-ṭāghūta
“Those whom God cursed…and who worshipped false gods”
This reading has a past tense verb with its direct object. The verb is conjoined to the list of verbs after relative pronoun man, which is linguistically singular while referring to a plurality of people.
وَعَبُدَ الطَّاغُوتِ
wa-ʿabuda ṭ-ṭāghūti
“Those whom God cursed…and who worshipped false gods”
This is an intensive noun (with annexed genitive) which is singular but used with a plural meaning. It is conjoined to the ‘apes and swine’ as objects of the verb jaʿala.

Explanation:

These readings are complementary in meaning: one describes the evil actions of those People of Scripture, while the other describes how God debased them by allowing them to follow those ways [al-Mahdawi].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
