إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ قَالُوا۟ نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Commentary:
The hypocrites make loud professions of their faith and repeatedly declare on solemn oaths that they are sincere believers. This they do in order to hoodwink honest and unsuspecting believers into thinking that they are sincere and faithful followers of Islam like themselves, and thus by winning the believers’ confidence they seek to create mischief among them. This is how they make their oaths a screen for their wicked designs.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا۟ فَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ
3:91; 4:138; 16:107.
مجہول کا صیغہ اس لئے استعمال کیا گیا ہے کہ یہ بتایا جائے کہ مُہر اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے بلاوجہ نہیں لگی بلکہ اس کا باعث ان لوگوں کے اپنے اعمال تھے‘ جن کے مخفی ہونے کی وجہ سے مجہول کا صیغہ استعمال کیا گیا ہے تا کہ مُہر لگانے کا فَاعِل اللہ تعالیٰ قرار نہ پائے بلکہ مُہر لگائے جانے کا باعث ان کے مخفی اعمال قرار پائیں۔
3:91; 4:138; 16:107.
The hypocrites seem to have lost all reason and understanding since they labour under the misconception that by their wiles and glib talk they can deceive Allah and His Prophet.

۞ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ ۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
2:205.
A hypocrite lacks self-reliance. He is always in search of someone upon whom to lean. Or, the verse may signify that his interior does not correspond to his exterior. He so conducts himself that while outwardly he appears to be a reasonable, dignified and honest person, inwardly he is quite hollow and rotten to the core. He seeks to please people with his glib talk but, being a coward, he suspects and sees danger everywhere.
2:205.
Important Words:
مسندة (propped up) is derived from سند. They say سند الیه i.e. he leaned, rested or stayed himself against it or upon it. سند فی الجبلmeans, he ascended the mountain. سند (sannada) means, he set up pieces of wood as stays or props against a wall; he wore or clad himself with garments called سند (sanadun). The word also means, a thing upon or against which one leans, rests or stays himself, or a person upon whom one leans; mountain slope (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
In this verse the hypocrites have been compared to blocks of wood propped up, or pieces of wood dressed up with clothes, which signifies that a hypocrite lacks self-reliance. He is always in search of some person or thing upon which to rest or lean. Or the word may signify that his interior does not correspond to his exterior. He so conducts himself that while outwardly he appears to be a reasonable, dignified and honest person, inwardly he is quite hollow and rotten to the core. He seeks to please with his glib talk but, being a coward, he suspects danger in every crisis.

伪信者缺乏自立精神。他总是寻求可以依赖的人。这节经文也可以表示, 伪信者内外不一。他的做人就是这样, 外表似乎是通情达理、道貌岸然的老实人而内在却十分空虚, 腐朽透顶。他只想花言巧语, 讨好人家, 可是胆小如鼠, 疑心重重, 但见四面楚歌。

Commentary:
The hypocrites are the real enemies of Islam, much worse than the disbelievers (v. 5). By their secret wicked designs and machinations against Islam they irretrievably condemn themselves. As they have no faith, the verse says, asking forgiveness for them cannot benefit them in any way.

Insincere and dishonest himself, a hypocrite considers others to be like him. The Hypocrites of Medina had made an entirely foolish and wrong estimate of the sincerity of purpose of the Holy Prophet’s Companions in that they thought that they (his Companions) had gathered round him from considerations of their material interests, and that the moment they found that their expectations had not materialized, they would desert him. Time completely belied their fond and futile expectations.

عبداللہ ابن اُبَیّ ابن سَلُول نے جو منافقوں کا سردار تھا غزوہ ٔ مصطلق کے موقعہ پر مسلمانوں کو لڑوانے کے لئے یہ کہا تھا مگر اس کے بیٹے کو جو مخلص مومن تھا اس واقعہ کا علم ہو گیا۔ جب لشکر واپس مدینہ لوٹا۔ تو وہ دوڑ کر مدینہ کے دروازہ کے آگے کھڑا ہو گیا۔ اور اس نے تلوار نکال لی۔ اور باپ سے کہا کہ اونٹ سے اُتر آ۔ اور سب مدینہ والوں کے سامنے بلند آواز سے کہہ کہ مدینہ کے سب سے معزّز آدمی محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ہیں اور سب سے ذلیل مَیں ہوں۔ جب تک نہ کہو گے۔ مدینہ میں داخل نہ ہو سکو گے اور اگر کوشش کرو گے تو تمہارا سر کاٹ دوں گا۔ عبداللہ ڈر گیا۔ اور سب کے سامنے اس
In the course of a campaign (probably the one against Banu Mustaliq) ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy, leader of the Medina Hypocrites whose fond expectations to become the Chief of Medina were shattered by the Holy Prophet’s arrival on the scene is reported to have said that on his return to Medina he, 'the most honourable of its inhabitants' meaning himself would drive out therefrom 'the meanest of them,' meaning the Holy Prophet. ‘Abdullah’s son heard of this vile boast of his father, and as the party reached Medina, he drew his sword and barred his father’s entry into the town until he had confessed and declared that he himself was the meanest of the citizens of Medina and the Holy Prophet the most honourable of them. Thus his boast recoiled on his head.
