سُوْرَةُ المَآئِدَةِ
Surah Al-Maaida (5) — Ayah 52
فَتَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ يُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِيهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَىٰٓ أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَآئِرَةٌ ۚ فَعَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِٱلْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِۦ فَيُصْبِحُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَسَرُّوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ نَـٰدِمِينَ ﴿52﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us." Perhaps Allâh may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves.

52. 2. That is, if the Muslims are defeated and as a result we also have to suffer some loss, then friendship with the Jews will be very useful to us at such a time.
52. 3. That is, to the Muslims.
52. 4. Imposing jizyah on the Jews and Christians—this is an indication towards the killing of Banu Qurayza, taking their children as captives, and the exile of Banu Nadir, etc., all of which occurred in the near future.
