Ibn Abbas Commentary

(That) reversion to their old religion (is because they) the Jews (say unto those who hate) who disbelieve in secret, i.e. the hypocrites (what Allah hath revealed) what did Allah send with Gabriel to Muhammad (pbuh): (We will obey you) we will help you, O hypocrites, (in some matters) in the matter of Muhammad by saying �there is no deity save Allah� if he has the upper hand over us; (and Allah knoweth their secret talk) Allah knows the secret talk of the Jews with the hypocrites.

That leading of them astray is because they said to those who were averse to what God revealed namely to the idolaters ‘We will obey you in some matters’ that is to say by cooperating to maintain enmity against the Prophet s and preventing people from participating in the struggle alongside him they had said as much secretly but God exalted be He exposed it; and God knows their secrets read asrārahum as the plural of sirr ‘a secret’ or isrārahum ‘their keeping of things secret’ as the verbal noun.
