Transliteration:( Waddoo law tudhinu fa-yudhinoon )
9.Reason for its Revelation:
The leaders of Quraish came to the Holy Prophet ? and said if you have by illness we will have it treated, if you desire worldly pleasures, we will provide all the means or it. If nothing else is desired then please reffrain from talking ill of our idols and we too will stop raising objections against you.In response to it, this verse was revealed (Tafseer Azizi).
From this we learn that every believer should be firm on matters of religion. Being feeble in matters of religion is called hypocrisy. Showing good treatment in personal matters is called good conduct. Today we are soft in matters of religion but in personal matters we are severe.

(68:9) they would wish you to be pliant so that they too may be pliant.[5]
5. That is, if you slackened a little in your propagation of Islam, they also would slacken in their opposition to you. Or, if you became inclined to effect some changes in your faith to suit these people, they too would effect a compromise with you.
