An-Nur 24:48

<h2>The Treachery of the Hypocrites and the Attitude of the Believers</h2><p>Allah tells us about the characteristics of the hypocrites who show one thing while hiding another, and who say with their tongues,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّى فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مِّن بَعْدِ ذلِكَ</div><p>("We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey," then a party of them turn away thereafter,) meaning, their actions contradict their deeds, and they say that which they do not do. Allah says:</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَمَآ أُوْلَـئِكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ</div><p>(such are not believers.)</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَإِذَا دُعُواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ</div><p>(And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them...) means, when they are asked to follow the guidance which Allah has revealed to His Messenger , they turn away and are too arrogantly proud of themselves to follow him. This is like the Ayah:</p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُواْ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ</div><p>(Have you not seen those who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you,) until His saying:</p><div class="arabic uthmani">رَأَيْتَ الْمُنَـفِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنكَ صُدُوداً</div><p>(you see the hypocrites turn away from you …

And when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them, lo! a faction of them are averse;

When they are summoned to Allah and His messenger, in order that He may judge between them, behold some of them decline (to come).

And when they are called to Allah (i.e. His Words, the Quran) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, lo! a party of them refuse (to come) and turn away.

And when they are called to God and His Messenger, in order to judge between them, some of them refuse.
