Who said, "Those who follow their desires wish that you would deviate tremendously"?
We did not find this exact wording in the commentaries, but what the exegetes mentioned is close in meaning. Ibn Kathir is of the view that "those who follow lusts" are the followers of devils from among the Jews, Christians, and fornicators, who wish for us to deviate from truth to falsehood. Al-Baghawi believes that they are all people of falsehood. Al-Wahidi is of the view that they are the fornicators and people of falsehood in their religion, wishing for us to deviate greatly from truth and obedience, so that we become like them. It appears that the author compiled these meanings from books of commentary.
