Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Excepting those of the idolaters with whom you have made a pact and who have not diminished their commitment to you in anyway with regard to the terms of the pact nor supported assisted anyone from among the disbelievers against you; as for these fulfil your pact with them until the completion of the term to which you have agreed. Truly God loves those who fear Him by fulfilling pacts.
