(And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer…) [9:61-62]. This was revealedabout a group of hypocrites who used to harm the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,by saying about him things that should not be said. One of them said: “Do not do this, for we fear that whatwe say might reach him and he will punish us”. Al-Julas ibn Suwayd said: “We will say whatever we wish tosay and when we go to him he will believe whatever we tell him, for Muhammad is nothing but a hearer”,and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse. Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasar and others said: “This versewas revealed about one hypocrite whose name is Nabtal ibn al-Harith. This man was dark-skinned, red-eyed,burned in the cheeks and deformed. It is this man about whom the Prophet, Allah bless him and give himpeace, said: ‘Whoever wants to look at the devil, let him look at Nabtal ibn al-Harith’. This man was a tale89bearer; he related the words of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, to the hypocrites. Andwhen he was told to stop doing this, he said: ‘Indeed, Muhammad is but a hearer, he believes everythingthat people tell him. We say whatever we like and then we go to him and swear that we never said it and hebelieves us’. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”. Al-Suddi said: “A group of hypocrites, includingJulas ibn Suwayd ibn al-Samit and Wadi‘ah ibn Thabit, gathered and wanted to speak ill of the Prophet, Allahbless him and give him peace. They had with them a boy from the Helpers by the name of ‘Amir ibn Qays.These hypocrites mocked the Prophet and then spoke and said ‘By Allah, if what Muhammad says is true,then we are worse than asses’. The boy got angry and said: ‘By Allah, what Muhammad says is true and youare worse than asses’. The boy then went to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and informedhim about what they said. The Prophet summoned them and when he asked them they swore that ‘Amirwas a liar. ‘Amir also swore that they were liars. ‘Amir then prayed: ‘O Allah, do not make us disperse untilyou show who is lying and who s telling the truth’. And so this verse was revealed about them (And of themare those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer) and He also revealed (They swear by Allah toyou (Muslims) to please you…) [9:62]”.

وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَـكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ - لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَئاً أَوْ مَغَـرَاتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلاً لَّوَلَّوْاْ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ

(56. They swear by Allah that they are truly of you while they are not of you, but they are a people (hypocrites) who are afraid (that you may kill them).)

(57. Should they find a refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush.)

Exposing Hypocrites' Fright and Fear

Allah describes to His Prophet the fright, fear, anxiety and nervousness of the hypocrites,

يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِإِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ

(They swear by Allah that they are truly of you), swearing a sure oath,

وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ

(while they are not of you), in reality,

وَلَـكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ

(but they are a people who are afraid), and this is what made them swear.

لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَئاً

(Should they find a refuge), such as a fort in which they hide and fortify themselves,

أَوْ مَغَـرَاتٍ

(or caves), in some mountains,

أَوْ مُدَّخَلاً

(or a place of concealment), a tunnel or a hole in the ground, according to the explanation given by Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah,

لَّوَلَّوْاْ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ

(they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush) away from you because they associate with you unwillingly, not because they are fond of you. They prefer that they do not have to mix with you, but necessity has its rules! It is because of this that they feel grief, sadness and sorrow, seeing Islam and its people enjoying ever more might, triumph and glory. Therefore, whatever pleases Muslims brings them grief, and this is why they prefer to disassociate themselves from the believers. Hence Allah's statement,

لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَئاً أَوْ مَغَـرَاتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلاً لَّوَلَّوْاْ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ

(Should they find a refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush.)

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقَـتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُواْ مِنْهَا رَضُواْ وَإِن لَّمْ يُعْطَوْاْ مِنهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ
