Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah emphasizes the enmity that the hypocrites have for the ProphetIf a blessing, such as victory and triumph over the enemies, is given to the Prophet , thus pleasing him and his Companions, it grieves the hypocrites, وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْ قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ(but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand,"), they say, we took precautions when we did not join him, وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ(and they turn away rejoicing.
