[ مَا نَزَلَ فِي مُنَافِقِي الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ ] وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ يَعْنِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ مِنْ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى أَمْرِهِمْ. يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ أَيْ شَكٌّ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا أَيْ شَكًّا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ أَيْ إنَّمَا نُرِيدُ الْإِصْلَاحَ بَيْنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ. يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا كَمَا آمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا آمَنَ السُّفَهَاءُ أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاءُ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ مِنْ يَهُودَ، الَّذِينَ يَأْمُرُونَهُمْ بِالتَّكْذِيبِ بِالْحَقِّ، وَخِلَافِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ الرَّسُولُ قَالُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ أَيْ إنَّا عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ. إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ أَيْ إنَّمَا نَسْتَهْزِئُ بِالْقَوْمِ، وَنَلْعَبُ بِهِمْ. يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: اللَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
Translation
✧ [What was revealed concerning the hypocrites of al-Aws and al-Khazraj] And among the people is he who says, "We have believed in Allah and in the Last Day," but they are not believers, meaning the hypocrites among al-Aws and al-Khazraj, and those who followed their ways. They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves, and they do not perceive. In their hearts is a disease, that is, doubt, so Allah increased them in disease, that is, in doubt, and for them is a painful punishment because they used to lie. And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption in the land," they say, "We are only reformers," that is, we only intend to set things right between the two parties of the believers and the People of the Book. Allah, exalted be He, says: Behold, it is they who are the corrupters, but they do not perceive. And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Behold, it is they who are the fools, but they do not know. And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe," but when they are alone with their devils from among the Jews, who command them to deny the truth and oppose what the Messenger brought, they say, "We are with you," that is, we are upon the like of what you are upon. "We are only mocking," that is, we only mock the people and jest with them. Allah, mighty and glorious be He, says: Allah mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression, wandering blindly.
