In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. [1] When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say,
"We bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger of Allah." Yea,
Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah beareth
witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars.
[2] They have made their oaths a screen (for
their misdeeds): thus they obstruct (men) from the Path of Allah:
truly evil are their deeds.
[3] That is because they believed, then they
rejected Faith: so a seal was set on their hearts: therefore they
understand not.
[4] When thou lookest at them, their exteriors
please thee; and when they speak, thou listenest to their words.
They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of timber propped up,
(unable to stand on their own). They think that every cry is against
them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be
on them! How are they deluded (away from the Truth)!
