[ الأحزاب: 60]
If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease (evil desire for adultery, etc.), and those who spread false news among the people in AlMadinah, cease not, We shall certainly let you overpower them, then they will not be able to stay in it as your neighbours but a little while.
English - Sahih International
If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease and those who spread rumors in al-Madinah do not cease, We will surely incite you against them; then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(33:60) If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts there is a sickness, *113 and the scandal mongers in Madinah *114 do not desist from their vile acts, We shall urge you to take action against them, and then they will hardly be able to stay in the city with you.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*113) "Having diseased hearts" points to two kinds of evils: (1) That a person should be an iII-wisher of Islam and the Muslims although he gets himself counted among the Muslims; and (2) that he should be cherishing evil intentions and having criminal mentality and his evil tendencies be manifesting themselves in everything he thinks and does.
*114) This unplies the people who, in order to cause panic among the Muslims and to lower their morale, used to spread rumours in Madinah to the effect that the Muslims had suffered such and such serious setback, that a huge army was gathering together against them at such and such a place, that Madinah was under threat of a sudden attack, etc. Besides this, they had another pastime. they would concoct and spread imaginary stories about the domestic life of the Holy Prophet's household and of other Muslims so as to produce suspicions among the common people and destroy the moral influence of the Muslims.
