Exposing Hypocrites' Fright and FearAllah describes to His Prophet the fright, fear, anxiety and nervousness of the hypocrites, يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِإِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ(They swear by Allah that they are truly of you), swearing a sure oath, وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ(while they are not of you), in reality, وَلَـكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ(but they are a people who are afraid), and this is what made them swear.
