Ibn Abbas Commentary

((And the hypocrites) with the Banu Qurayzah upon failing them ((are) on the likeness of the devil) with the monk (when he telleth man) the monk Barsisa (to disbelieve) in Allah, (then, when he disbelieveth) he lets him down and (says: Lo! I am quit of thee) and of your religion. (Lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

In addition their likeness in heeding the words of the hypocrites and their forsaking of them is like Satan when he says to man ‘Disbelieve!’; so that when he man disbelieves he says ‘Lo! I am absolved of you. Indeed I fear God the Lord of the Worlds’ out of mendacity and dissimulation on his part.
