قوله - عز وجل - : ( ألم تر إلى الذين نافقوا ) أي أظهروا خلاف ما أضمروا : يعني : عبد الله بن أبي ابن سلول وأصحابه ( يقولون لإخوانهم الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب ) اليهود من بني قريظة والنضير جعل المنافقين إخوانهم في الدين لأنهم كفار مثلهم . ( لئن أخرجتم ) من المدينة ( لنخرجن معكم ولا نطيع فيكم أحدا ) يسألنا خذلانكم وخلافكم ( أبدا وإن قوتلتم لننصرنكم والله يشهد إنهم ) يعني المنافقين ( لكاذبون ) .
O Messenger! Do you not see those that have concealed disbelief and outwardly shown faith, saying to their brothers in disbelief from the Jews: the followers of the distorted Torah: “Remain in your homes because we will never abandon you and never give you up. If the Muslims exile you from your homes, we will also leave in solidarity with you, and we will never obey anyone who prevents us from leaving with you. And if they were to fight you, we will definitely help you against them.” Allah testifies that indeed, the hypocrites are liars in their claims that they will leave with the Jews if they were to be exiled, and that they would fight with them if they were fought against.
