Ayah: 204

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُعۡجِبُكَ قَوۡلُهُۥ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيُشۡهِدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا فِي قَلۡبِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَلَدُّ ٱلۡخِصَامِ

(204) Of people are those^[345] whose talk about this worldly life^[346] you are drawn to, calling Allah to bear witness to what is in his heart, while he is the bitterest of adversaries^[347].

[345] With their eloquent talk, the hypocrites (cf. 63: 1-4), whose Faith is insincere, had won the Prophet’s (ﷺ) attention (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, Ibn ʿĀshūr). The moral here is that it is not sweet talk and hollow words that define a real Believer but rather sincerity and selfless actions that lead to such a lofty status.
[346] With regards to worldly matters.
[347] ʿĀ’ishah (i) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The worst of men in the Sight of Allah is the bitter adversary” (al-Bukhārī: 3178, Muslim: 58). This is one of the four traits of a sheer hypocrite. The other three being: telling lies, breaking promises and betraying pledges (cf. al-Bukhārī: 2457, Muslim: 2668).
