Al-Qalam (Cây Bút) 68:9

<h2>Prohibition of giving in to the Pressure of the Disbelievers and Their Suggestions, and that They like to meet in the Middle of the Path</h2><p>Allah says, `just as We have favored you and given you the upright legislation and great (standard of) character,'</p><p>فَلاَ تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ - وَدُّواْ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ</p><p>(So, do not obey the deniers.

"This means that you should be quiet about their gods and abandon the truth that you are upon." Then Allah says,</p><p>وَلاَ تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلاَّفٍ مَّهِينٍ</p><p>(And do not obey every Hallaf (one who swears much) Mahin (liar or worthless person).)

Ibn `Abbas said, "Al-Mahin means the liar." Then Allah …

Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.

Their desire is that thou shouldst be pliant: so would they be pliant.

They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.

They would like you to compromise, so they would compromise.
