وَإِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِن قَوْمٍ خِيَانَةً فَٱنۢبِذْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ

اور اگر تو کسی قوم سے عہد شکنی کا ڈر رکھتا ہو تو تو اس طرح ان کا عہد ختم کر دے جس سے وہ سمجھ لیں کہ اب تم دونوں (فریق اپنی پابندیوں سے) آزاد ہو۔ اللہ خیانت کرنے والوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And if thou fearest treachery from a people, throw back to them their covenant with equity. Surely, [a]Allah loves not the treacherous.[1136]

4:108.

If a people with whom Muslims have entered into a covenant dishonour it, they should be plainly told that the covenant has come to an end and Muslims, if attacked, would fight back with all the force at their command. But under no circumstances are Muslims permitted to make a surprise attack, without giving a prior notice. ‘Ala Sawa’in means, on terms of equality, i.e. in such a manner that each party should know that it is free of its obligations.

English - Five Volume Translation

And if thou fearest treachery from a people, throw back to them their covenant with equity. Surely, [a]Allah loves not the treacherous.[1146]

4:108.

Commentary:

If a people with whom Muslims have entered into a covenant begin to commit acts of hostility towards them and it is feared that they are going to play false, then it should be openly and plainly declared to them that the covenant between them and the Muslims had come to an end. Then if, after such a declaration, they should fight the Muslims, the latter should also fight them. Thus Muslims are not allowed to make a surprise attack on any people without due notice. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said لا تفرط ولا تفجأ i.e. "Do not exceed the bounds in fighting, nor make a surprise attack on the enemy." Even in war, Islam enjoins strict justice and mercy.

If you [have reason to] fear from a people betrayal, throw [their treaty] back to them, [putting you] on equal terms. Indeed, Allah does not like traitors.

اور اگر تمہیں کسی قوم سے دغابازی کا ڈر ہو تو ان کا عہد ان کی طرف پھینک دو ایسی طرح پر کہ تم اور وہ برابر ہو جاؤ بے شک الله دغا بازوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا
