The Holy Quran 8:27 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَخُونُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوٓا۟ أَمَـٰنَـٰتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Do not betray (disobey) Allaah and the Rasool ﷺ and do not knowingly betray your mutual trusts (by revealing each other's secrets, breaking promises, etc.).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The prohibition of betraying trusts: betraying Allah and the Messenger ﷺ means going against their commands: calling oneself a Muslim with the tongue while doing the deeds of the kafirs; or practising deceit in a task that Allah and the Messenger ﷺ have assigned; or stealing from the spoils of war, and the like.
