The Holy Quran 9:110 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَـٰنُهُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَنَوْا۟ رِيبَةً فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Translation

The foundation (the building) that they established will always be a source of doubt (regret and hypocrisy) in their hearts (as long as they live because they achieved nothing from it besides humiliation). However, (it is best for them) if their hearts are split into pieces (if they die, because death will end the humiliation of this world). Allaah is All Knowing, The Wise (He knows how hypocrisy can be rooted out).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The interpretation of “ribah”: the word “ribah” has been translated as “doubt”, by which hypocrisy is meant. That is, the effect of this evil deed was that hypocrisy will always remain in their hearts (until death tears them to pieces)
