And
those who were given the Scripture did not become divided, regarding belief in
him [the Prophet] (s), except after the clear proof had come to them, namely,
the Prophet (s) — or the Qur’ān which he brought as his miracle. Before his (s)
arrival they had all agreed to believe in him when he would come; then those
who disbelieved in him from among them became envious of him.

And
they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in
religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And
that is the correct religion.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
they were only commanded, in their Scripture, the Torah and the Gospel, to
worship God (illā li-ya‘budū means illā an ya‘budū, an having been omitted and
the lām added) devoting religion purely to Him, [free] of any idolatry, as
hanīfs, upright in [following] the religion of Abraham and the religion of
Muhammad (s), when he would come — so how is it that they disbelieved in him?,
and to establish prayer and pay the alms. That is the upright religion, the
upright creed.
