آية: 58

وَإِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِن قَوۡمٍ خِيَانَةٗ فَٱنۢبِذۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡخَآئِنِينَ

(58) Whenever you ˹Muhammad˺ fear^[1976] treachery from certain people, then cast ˹their pact˺ to them ˹so that all are˺ on level ground—indeed Allah Loves not the treacherous.

[1976] ‘Fear’ that the other party may not uphold their commitment is not that which is based on mere surmization but here is rather that which is based on credible evidence and tell-tale signs (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn al-ʿArabī, Aḥkām al-Qur’ān, 8/860).
Sulaym Ibn ʿĀmir narrated that: “Muʿāwiyah (رضي الله عنه) ˹the Caliph˺ had a peace pact with the Byzantine. While he was travelling through their lands, the term of the pact had elapsed and he raided them. A rider on his horse ˹came˺ shouting: “Allah is the greatest! Honour and do not break ˹the pact˺!” He was ʿAmr Ibn ʿAbasah (رضي الله عنه) so Muʿāwiyah asked him about it and he replied: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Whoever has a pact with some people, let him not come out of it, or modify it until its period has elapsed. Or he needs to cast it to them so that everyone is on level ground”. ˹Upon hearing this˺ Muʿāwiyah pulled back along with his company” (Abū Dāwūd: 2759, al-Tirmidhī: 1580, al-Nasā’ī, al-Sunan al-Kubrā: 8679).
