Idha jaaka al-munafiquna qalu nashhadu innaka larasulu Allahi wa Allahu ya'lamu innaka larasuluhu wa Allahu yashhadu inna al-munafiqina lakadhiboona
When the Hypocrites come to you, they say, "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah." And Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars.
The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
Allah the Exalted states that the hypocrites pretended to be Muslims when they went to the Prophet . In reality, they were not Muslims, but rather the opposite. Their claims [are lies], even though it is true about the Prophet. But they did not believe inwardly in what they declared outwardly, and this is why Allah declared their falsehood about their creed.
