وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ

Traductions

Et ils (les hypocrites) jurent par Allah qu'ils sont vraiment des vôtres; alors qu'ils ne le sont pas. Mais ce sont des gens peureux.
Muhammad Hamidullah · FR
And they swear by Allah that they are from among you while they are not from among you; but they are a people who are afraid.
Sahih International · EN

Tafsir

Ô croyants, les hypocrites vous font des serments mensongers lorsqu’ils vous disent qu’ils sont des vôtres alors qu’ils ne le sont pas dans leur for intérieur. Ce sont des gens qui ont peur d’être tué et que leurs familles soient capturées. Ce n’est que la peur qui les pousse à se faire passer pour des musulmans.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
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)(56)Should they find a refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush (57) Exposing Hypocrites' Fright and Fear Allah describes to His Prophet ﷺ the fright, fear, anxiety and nervousness of the hypocrites, يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ 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, وَلَٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ (but they are a people who are afraid), and this is what made them swear. لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَأً (Should they find a refuge), such as a fort in which they hide and fortify themselves, أَوْ مَغَارَاتٍ (or caves), in some mountains, أَوْ مُدَّخَلًا (or a place of concealment), a tunnel or a hole in the ground, according to the explanation given by Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah, لَّوَلَّوْا 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 مَلْجَأً أَوْ مَغَارَاتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْا إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ (Should they find a refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush.)
