The Holy Quran 4:81 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

وَيَقُولُونَ طَاعَةٌ فَإِذَا بَرَزُوا۟ مِنْ عِندِكَ بَيَّتَ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى تَقُولُ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُونَ ۖ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

Translation

They (the Munaafiqeen) say (to Rasulullaah), "Obedience (to your commands is our task) !" However, when they leave your presence, a group of them plot at night (to do) other than that which you said. Allaah records the plotting they discuss. So ignore them and trust in Allaah (hand over your affairs to Allaah). Allaah suffices as Defender.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Another deceit of the hypocrites: hear another deceit of these hypocrites: in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ they say, “We have accepted your command,” and on going out they consult together against it, that is, they consult about how to disobey and oppose you. And with Allah all their consultations are being recorded, in order to punish them.
