Ayah: 8

كَيۡفَ وَإِن يَظۡهَرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَا يَرۡقُبُواْ فِيكُمۡ إِلّٗا وَلَا ذِمَّةٗۚ يُرۡضُونَكُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَتَأۡبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ

How [can there be a treaty] – if they were to overcome you, they would neither respect ties of kinship nor treaty^[12]? They please you with their tongues, while their hearts are averse to it, and most of them are wicked.

[12] They cannot be trusted because they constantly renege on their pledges and break their promises.
