63.2-3

اِتَّخَذُوْۤا اَیْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(2) ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا فَطُبِـعَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَفْقَهُوْنَ(3)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

They made their oaths a shield so they prevented from the way of Allah. Indeed that which they used to do is evil. [1] This is because they believed ˹with their tongues˺, then they disbelieved ˹with their hearts˺ so their hearts were sealed, so now they do not understand.

Commentary

[1]

It was the habit of the hypocrites that whenever they sensed the danger of being brought to account, they would at once take an oath lest they be questioned. Using this method, they would make their oaths a shield to protect themselves from being brought to account. As for their actions, they would create doubts in the minds of people in order to prevent them from accepting Islam and spending in the Way of Allah Almighty.
