And the believers say, “If only a sûrah was revealed ˹allowing self-defence˺!” Yet when a precise sûrah is revealed, in which fighting is ˹explicitly˺ mentioned, you see those with sickness in their hearts staring at you like someone in the throes of death. It would have been better for them

to obey and speak rightly. Then when fighting was ordained, it surely would have been better for them if they were true to Allah.

Indeed, those who relapse ˹into disbelief˺ after ˹true˺ guidance has become clear to them, ˹it is˺ Satan ˹that˺ has tempted them, luring them with false hopes.

That is because they said ˹privately˺ to those who ˹also˺ detest what Allah has revealed, “We will obey you in some matters.” But Allah ˹fully˺ knows what they are hiding.

This is because they follow whatever displeases Allah and hate whatever pleases Him, so He has rendered their deeds void.

Or do those with sickness in their hearts think that Allah will not ˹be able to˺ expose their malice?
