سُوْرَةُ النِّسَآءِ
Surah An-Nisaa (4) — Ayah 91
سَتَجِدُونَ ءَاخَرِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَأْمَنُوكُمْ وَيَأْمَنُوا۟ قَوْمَهُمْ كُلَّ مَا رُدُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْفِتْنَةِ أُرْكِسُوا۟ فِيهَا ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ يَعْتَزِلُوكُمْ وَيُلْقُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ وَيَكُفُّوٓا۟ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكُمْ جَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنًا مُّبِينًا ﴿91﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
You will find others that wish to have security from you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against them.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
91. You will find others who wish to be safe from you and from their own people. But whenever they are tempted into mischief, they plunge into it. If they do not withdraw from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them [126]. Against such people, We have given you clear authority.

The Worst Kind of Hypocrite:
Such hypocrites are the worst kind of hypocrites who loudly proclaim their love for peace, but whenever they get the chance, they leave no stone unturned in their enmity towards Islam. There are only three possible forms of their so-called peace-loving attitude. First, that they make peace with the Muslims. Second, that they do not join the army of the disbelievers. And third, that if they are compelled to join, then they keep their hands restrained, meaning they do not actually participate in the fighting. And if none of these three things are found, it means that there is corruption in their intention and, under the guise of peace, they want to deceive and take revenge on the Muslims. Therefore, the remedy for such hypocrites is that whenever the opportunity arises, they should be killed and eliminated first. Fighting with other disbelievers should come afterwards.
