Verse 8
9:8

كَيْفَ How وَإِن while, if يَظْهَرُوا۟ they gain dominance عَلَيْكُمْ over you لَا they do not regard (the ties) يَرْقُبُوا۟ they do not regard (the ties) فِيكُمْ with you إِلًّۭا (of) kinship وَلَا and not ذِمَّةًۭ ۚ covenant of protection يُرْضُونَكُم They satisfy you بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ with their mouths وَتَأْبَىٰ but refuse قُلُوبُهُمْ their hearts وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ and most of them فَـٰسِقُونَ (are) defiantly disobedient ٨

How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.
