The tafsir of Surah Ahzab verse 60 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Ahzab ayat 59 which provides the complete commentary from verse 60 through 62.
(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.
113. “Having diseased hearts” points to two kinds of evils:
(1) That a person should be an ill-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 implies the people who, in order to cause panic among the Muslims and to lower their morale, used to spread rumors in Al-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 Al-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 Prophet’s (peace be upon him) household and of other Muslims so as to produce suspicions among the common people and destroy the moral influence of the Muslims.
[1212]- Referring here to those who commit adultery or fornication.
