(So He hath made the consequence (to be) hypocrisy in their hearts) his end was that Allah cast hypocrisy in his heart (until the day when they shall meet Him) until the day of Judgement, (because they broke their word to Allah that they promised Him) because of breaking his promise, (and because they lied) and because he lied about what he said.
