Transliteration:( Law kharajoo feekum maa zaadookum illaa Khabaalanw wa la awda'oo khilaalakum yabghoona kumul fitnata wa feekum sammaa'oona lahum; wallaahu 'aleemum biz zaalimeen )
135. In that they would have frightened you through the infidels, caused you to fight amongst yourself's heaped praises of the infidels in your presence and hurled insults upon the Muslims. From this we learn that a hypocrite does a good deed with an evil intention he goes to the mosque with the intention of stealing people's shoes.Â
136. Those who listen to your discussion with the intention of informing the infidels with it are the hypocrites. This tells us that for a believer to become an informer of a hypocrite is a sign of hypocrisy or playing double standards. In this case the pronominal suffix 'them' is used to indicate the infidels. Ot it could also mean Oh Muslim some new converts amongst you are so simple and have weak belief that they easily accept what the hypocrites tell them, and they become inflamed at their instigation.
