9:8

كَیْفَ وَاِنْ یَظْهَرُوا عَلَیْكُمْ لَا یَرْقُبُوا فٖیكُمْ اِلًّا وَلَا ذِمَّةًؕ یُرْضُونَكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَاْبٰى قُلُوبُهُمْۚ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ فَاسِقُونَۚ

Kayfa wain yathharoo AAalaykum la yarquboo feekum illan wala thimmatan yurdoonakum biafwahihim wataba quloobuhum waaktharuhum fasiqoona

Translations

How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient

Saheeh International

How (can there be any treaty for the others) when, if they have the upper hand of you, they regard not pact nor honour in respect of you? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. And most of them are wrongdoers
