Collected by Qurʾān
quran:31:6 –

And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead ˹others˺ from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.  

And among people there is he who purchases idle talk, in other words, that ˹part of it˺ which diverts ˹people˺ from its ˹true˺ significance, that he may lead ˹people˺ astray (read li-yadilla; or li-yudilla) from the way of God, the religion of Islam, without knowledge and take it (read ˹subjunctive˺ wa-yattakhidhahā as a supplement to yudilla, ‘that he may lead astray’; or ˹indicative˺ wa-yattakhidhuhā as a supplement to yashtarī, ‘who buys’) in mockery, as something to be mocked. For such there will be a humiliating chastisement, one of abasement.
القرآن:٣١:٦ –

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ  

{ومن الناس من يشتري لهو الحديث} أي ما يلهي منه عما يعني {ليضلَّ} بفتح الياء وضمها {عن سبيل الله} طريق الإسلام {بغير علمٍ ويتخذها} بالنصب عطفاً على يضل، وبالرفع عطفاً على يشتري {هزؤاً} مهزوءاً بها {أولئك لهم عذاب مهين} ذو إهانة.
