سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْفَالِ
Surah Al-Anfaal (8) — Ayah 49
إِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ دِينُهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿49﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease (of disbelief) said: "These people (Muslims) are deceived by their religion." But whoever puts his trust in Allâh, then surely, Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
49. 1. By this are meant those Muslims who had newly embraced Islam and had doubts about the success of the Muslims, or it may refer to the polytheists, and it is also possible that the Jews residing in Medina are meant.
49. 2. That is, look at their numbers and also their state of equipment, which is apparent. Yet they have set out to confront the polytheists of Mecca, who are far greater in number than them and are also well-equipped with all kinds of weapons and resources. It seems that their religion has deceived and deluded them. And even this obvious matter is beyond their understanding.
49. 3. Allah Almighty said: How can these people of the world estimate the determination and steadfastness of the people of faith, whose trust is in Allah, Who is dominant, meaning He does not abandon those who rely on Him, and He is also Wise; in every act of His there is perfect wisdom, which is beyond the comprehension of human intellects.
