Yunus has narrated from ibn Sinan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Imam recited this verse:.. for they denied the evidence (of the existence of Allah) and murdered His Prophets without reason; they were disobedient transgressors.’ (2:61) The Imam said, ‘By Allah they did not murder them with their hands or swords but they would hear their Hadith and publicize them, causing them to be captured and murdered.

It then became murder, transgression and disobedience.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (11/63))
