Verse62

(62) فَكَيْفَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ جَآؤُوكَ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلاَّ إِحْسَانًا وَتَوْفِيقًا

62. " But how will it be, when some disaster befalls them on account of what their (own) hands have forwarded, then they come to you swearing by Allah (saying): ' We intended naught but kindness and concord '? "
Commentary:
The justification of the hypocrites for referring the judgement to the false deities, as they said was, that: their final aim was to make peace. So, if they had gone to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) for judgement and he judged for the benefit of one party, naturally the other party would have become displeased from the Messenger of Allah and would have raised a tumult noisily, which was not appropriate with the position of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.). Therefore, to avoid this and to protect the honour, rank, and amiability of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.), they did not take the conflict to him.

Explanations:
1. The hypocritical Muslims refer to the divine leaders only when they encounter a difficulty and feel danger.
"... they come to you ..."
2. The opponents usually justify their wrong actions.
"... ' We intended naught but kindness ..."
3. The hypocrites apply the swearing to Allah as a cover over their own goals.
"... swearing by Allah ..."
4. Among the deeds of the hypocrites is: showing a feature of benevolence, kindness and claiming the motto of peacefulness and exchanging agreements.
"... kindness and concord?"
