Ayah: 4

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَنقُصُوكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَمۡ يُظَٰهِرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَحَدٗا فَأَتِمُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡ عَهۡدَهُمۡ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

(4) Except those with whom you have forged pacts and have not failed you in anything ˹agreed˺ nor lent support to anyone against you^[2018], then observe their pact for them until the end of its term—verily Allah loves the Mindful.

[2018] Those of the Deniers who upheld the terms of agreement in whole and did not lend support to the warring enemies of the Believers were to be allowed until the agreed date of the agreement had come to pass. This is an exception from the four months reprieve that was announced (cf. al-Wāḥidī, al-Basīṭ, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, al-Shinqīṭī, al-ʿAdhb al-Namīr).
