Although the believers are addressed here, but the hypocrites and the nominal Muslims are aimed. The beginning phrase of the verse: ``There are some among you,'' discloses that the hypocrites are hidden among the true believers.

      The hypocrites and the nominal Muslims always detach and disengage themselves in thought and action from the main body of Muslims' society. In times of hardship and misfortunes whether a war or a natural calamity, they give no hand or help to the main body. If an affliction afflicts people, they are happy for not taking part in the incident. On the contrary, when the main body wins a success, they will not share the general happiness of the community. They are rather sorry, and pity that they have lost the material share and profits of the success. They say what Qurän says in them: ``They will say: (as if there had never been any affection between you and him,) ``Would that I had been with them to win a great victory.''

      Such selfish men are of no use and value in any community, and should never be considered as a source of power or means of success.
