Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And keep your opinion secret) about Muhammad (pbuh) through your treachery and betrayal (or proclaim it) through war and fighting, (lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men)) He is the Knower of what is in people's hearts of good and evil.

And whether you keep secret O people your speech or proclaim it He indeed exalted be He is Knower of what is in the breasts of what they contain so how much more so is He Knower in the case of what you utter openly — the reason for the revelation of this verse was that the idolaters said to one another ‘Speak secretly and Muhammad’s god will not hear you’.
