At-Tawbah 9:8 كيف وان يظهروا عليكم لا يرقبوا فيكم الا ولا ذمة يرضونكم بافواههم وتابى قلوبهم واكثرهم فاسقون ٨

9:8
كَيۡفَ
وَإِن
يَظۡهَرُواْ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
لَا
يَرۡقُبُواْ
فِيكُمۡ
إِلّٗا
وَلَا
ذِمَّةٗۚ
يُرۡضُونَكُم
بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ
وَتَأۡبَىٰ
قُلُوبُهُمۡ
وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
فَٰسِقُونَ

How (can there be any treaty for the others) when, if they have the upper hand of you, they regard not pact nor honour in respect of you? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. And most of them are wrongdoers.

Chapter 9, Page 188, Juz 10

7. How can there be a treaty with Allah and with His messenger for the idolaters save those with whom ye made a treaty at the Inviolable Place of Worship? So long as they are true to you, be true to them. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty. 8. How (can there be any treaty for the others) when, if they have the upper hand of you, they regard not pact nor honour in respect of you? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. And most of them are wrongdoers. 9. They have purchased with the revelations of Allah a little gain, so they debar (men) from His way. Lo! evil is that which they are wont to do. 10. And they observe toward a believer neither pact nor honour. These are they who are transgressors. 11. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.
