Had they gone out with you, they would only have been a hindrance and let loose confusion among you to create discord; for there are some in your midst who spy for them. But God knows who are the wicked.

Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (had they gone forth among you) with you (they had added to you naught save trouble) evil and corruption (and had hurried to and fro among you) they would have marched riding their camels in the middle of you, (seeking to cause sedition among you) seeking to cause evil, corruption, humiliation and damage; (and among you there are some who would have listened to them) among you there are spies for the disbelievers. (allah is aware of evil-doers) i.e. the hypocrites: 'abdullah ibn ubayy and his hosts.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : had they gone forth among you, they would only have caused you more trouble, [more] corruption, by abandoning the believers, and would have hurried to and fro among you, that is, they would have hastened to spread slander among you, seeking, desiring, to stir up sedition, by casting enmity, between you; and among you there are some who would listen to them, to what they say, listening in readiness to accept it; and god knows the evildoers.
