grudging to you, in their help (ashihha, 'grudging', is the plural of shahīh, and is a circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject [of the verb] ya'tūna, 'they engage'). And when there is a panic, you see them looking at you, their eyes rolling like one, that is, like the look of one, or the rolling of one, fainting at death, in other words, [one] in the throes thereof; but when the panic subsides, and the spoils have been secured, they scald you, they hurt you, or they smite you, with [their] sharp tongues, in their greed for the riches, in other words, for the spoils, which they demand [greedily]. Those, they never believed, really. Therefore Allahu ta’ālā has invalidated their works, and that, invalidation, is easy for Allahu ta’ālā, by His will.
