Surah Al-Baqarah — 2:79

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ الْكِتَابَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَٰذَا مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لَّهُم مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌ لَّهُم مِّمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ

Fawaylul lillazeena yaktuboonal kitaaba bi aydeehim summa yaqooloona haazaa min 'indil laahi liyashtaroo bihee samanan qaleelan fawaylul lahum mimmaa katabat aydeehim wa waylul lahum mimmaa yaksiboon

So woe to those who write the scripture with their own hands and then say, "This is from God," so they can sell it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn by it.
