This refers again to hypocrites whose religious avowal is on the tip of their tongue, and not in the depth of their hearts. When they were in the line of Muslims, headed by their prophet, they repeated the word `OBEDIENCE' to protect their personal interests thereby. They said so, but believed it not, because in their nightly meetings which they held privately, their argument went on against the prophet's ideas and purposes.

      Allah advises the prophet to turn his face away from these men of double faces, and that to put his trust in Allah. This is because if we trust people who are not true and faithful, in emergency cases, they will hinder instead of help. We should therefore put our trust in Allah, and have our confidence in Him who is All-good, All- knowledge and knows the inner working of events more than all.
