quran:5:82

You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers ˹to be˺ the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.  

You, O Muhammad (s), will truly find the most hostile of people to those who believe to be the Jews and the idolaters, of Mecca, because of the intensity of their disbelief, ignorance and utter preoccupation with following whims; and you will truly find the nearest of them in love to those who believe to be those who say ‘Verily, we are Christians’; that, nearness of theirs in love to the believers is, because some of them are priests, scholars, and monks, devout worshippers, and because they are not disdainful, of following the truth, as the Jews and the Meccans are.
القرآن:٥:٨٢

لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا ۖ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مَوَدَّةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّا نَصَارَىٰ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهْبَانًا وَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ  

{لتجدنَّ} يا محمد {أشدَّ الناس عداوة للذين آمنوا اليهود والذين أشركوا} من أهل مكة لتضاعف كفرهم وجهلهم وانهماكهم في اتباع الهوى {ولتجدن أقربهم مودة للذين آمنوا الذين قالوا إنَّا نصارى ذلك} أي قرب مودتهم للمؤمنين {بأن} بسبب أن {منهم قسيسين} علماء {ورهبانا} عبادا {وأنهم لا يستكبرون} عن اتباع الحق كما يستكبر اليهود وأهل مكة نزلت في وفد النجاشي القادمين عليه من الحبشة قرأ سورة يس فبكوا وأسلموا وقالوا ما أشبه هذا بما كان ينزل على عيسى.
