Ayah: 64

يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُورَةٞ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ قُلِ ٱسۡتَهۡزِءُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡرِجٞ مَّا تَحۡذَرُونَ

(64) The hypocrites dread that a sura will be brought down on them, revealing to them what is ˹hidden˺ in their hearts^[2154]; say: “Keep on mocking; verily Allah will expose what you dread”.

[2154] While many hypocrites were sure that the Messenger (ﷺ) was truthful but decided not to acknowledge him, others were truly in doubt (cf. al-Qurṭubī, Ibn ʿĀshūr): “Or do those in whose hearts is disease think that Allah will not expose their spite? *If We willed, We would show them to you ˹Muhammad˺ so that you would know them by their mark. And you will certainly know them by their tone of speech; Allah Knows your deeds” (47: 29-30).
