Open in Qurani

لين أخرجوا ﻻ يخرجون معهم

Surely, if they (the Jews) are expelled, never will they (hypocrites) go out with them; Also, what they said they would do, would never have been fulfilled by them, and this is why Allah said,

ولين قوتلوا ﻻ ينصرونهم

and if they are attacked, they will never help them. meaning, the hypocrites will not fight along with the Jews,

ولين نصروهم

And (even) if they do help them, and even if the hypocrites did fight along their side,

ليولن اﻻدبار ثم ﻻ ينصرون

they will turn their backs, and they will not be victorious. This Ayah contains good news, just as the good news that this following Ayah conveys,
