(verily evil is that which they are wont to do) evil is that which they do in their state of disbelief and hypocrisy, of plotting, treachery and turning people away,
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : they have taken their oaths as a shield, as a [means of] protection for their possessions and their lives, and so they have barred, thereby, from the way of god, that is, from using them for the struggle. evil indeed is that which they are wont to do.
