˹The hypocrites are˺ those who wait to see what happens to you. So if Allah grants you victory, they say ˹to you˺, “Were we not on your side?” But if the disbelievers have a share ˹of victory˺, they say ˹to them˺, “Did we not have the advantage over you, yet we protected you from the believers?” Allah will judge between ˹all of˺ you on the Day of Judgment.

O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Would you like to give Allah solid proof against yourselves?

Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire—and you will never find for them any helper—

except those who repent, mend their ways, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their devotion to Allah; they will be with the believers. And Allah will grant the believers a great reward.

Surely those who deny Allah and His messengers and wish to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers,¹ saying, “We believe in some and disbelieve in others,” desiring to forge a compromise,
