(Exposing the Hypocrites)
Those who believed said: “When will a new sura be revealed?” But when a straightforward sura was revealed, wherein fighting was mentioned, you would see those who harbored doubts in their hearts looking at you, as if death had already come to them. They were thus exposed.
وَيَقولُ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا لَولا نُزِّلَت سورَةٌ فَإِذا أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ مُحكَمَةٌ وَذُكِرَ فيهَا القِتالُ رَأَيتَ الَّذينَ فى قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ يَنظُرونَ إِلَيكَ نَظَرَ المَغشِىِّ عَلَيهِ مِنَ المَوتِ فَأَولىٰ لَهُم
