How? When if you are overpowered by them, they regard not the ties, either of kinship, ('Ill') or of covenant (Dhimmah)? With their mouths they please you, but their hearts are averse to you, and most of them are rebellious (8)

If these disbelievers have a chance to defeat Muslims, they will cause great mischief, leave nothing unharmed, disregard the ties of kinship and the sanctity of their vows. 'Ali bin Abi Talhah, 'Ikrimah and Al-'Awfi narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said, "'Ill' means kinship, while, Dhimmah means covenant." Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi said similarly.
