The Holy Quran 9:62 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

(O Mu'mineen) They (the Munaafiqeen) swear (false oaths) by Allaah for you to please you. (However, they fail to realise that) Allaah and His Rasool ﷺ are more worthy of pleasing if they (really) are Mu'mineen.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Shah [Abd al-Qadir] ﵀ says: “Whenever the Prophet ﷺ caught them out in their treachery, they would swear before the Muslims that there had been no evil intention in their hearts, so as to please them and win them over to their side. They did not understand that this trickery is of no use with Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
