At-Tawbah (The Repentance)

Verse 95of 129

سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ ۖ فَأَعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌۭ ۖ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ﴿٩٥

Translation (Sahih International)

They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them that you would leave them alone. So leave them alone; indeed they are evil; and their refuge is Hell as recompense for what they had been earning.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Exposing the Deceitful Ways of HypocritesAllah said that when the believers go back to Al-Madinah, the hypocrites will begin apologizing to them. قُل لاَّ تَعْتَذِرُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ(Say "Present no excuses, we shall not believe you."), we shall not believe what you say, قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ(Allah has already informed us of the news concerning you.
