Spending Nights in Planning Against Prophet

 Conspiring something contrary to what the Messenger (ﷺ) said (L-574)

وَيَقُولُونَ طَاعَةٌ فَإِذَا بَرَزُوا۟ مِنْ عِندِكَ بَيَّتَ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى تَقُولُ وَٱللَّهُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُونَ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ  وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًا 81.

81.  Wa  yaquuluuna  Taa-‘ah;  fa-‘izaa  barazuu  min  ‘indika  bayyata  taaa-‘ifatum-minhum  gayrallazii  taquul.  Wallaahu  yak-tubu  maa  yu-bayyituun.    Fa-‘a’-riz  ‘anhum  wa  ta-wakkal  ‘alAllaah.  Wa  kafaa  Billaahi  Wakiilaa.

81. They profess obedience, but when they leave your presence, some of them conspire something contrary to what you said. But God writes down what they conspire. So avoid them, and put your trust in God. God is Guardian enough.

Taa-‘atun  - (obedience), if after hearing any order from someone it is said! Taa-‘atun, it will be meant: I agreed, I admitted or I believed.

Bayyatun  - this word has come out from bayaat, which means “night”. Tabayyat means “to work at night”. Here it aims “asking for advice of others at night”.

‘A’-riz  - this word is from ‘a’-raaz, which means “to ignore, to turn away, not to care”. It is a token of negligence, inattention.

Another artifice of the hypocrites has been narrated in this verse. When they used to hear the Sayings of the Messenger of God (ﷺ), they used to say before him (ﷺ), “We have admitted, accepted or agreed to your entire commandments wholeheartedly and our duty is to obey you”. But when they used to get out from the company of the Messenger (ﷺ), then they used to plan secretly at night and bring to a conclusion that possibly they would never obey the Prophet ‘Muhammad’ (ﷺ) and oppose him as far as possible. Their apparent and hidden are not equal. They backbite, do not do that, whatever they say. If they think that, they would continue deceiving the Muslims by making apparent lame excuses like this, and digging secretly their roots, then they are at wrong because this all secret planning (at nights) is being observed by God. He knows their entire wicked activities with effect from the beginning to the end. This double-faced conduct of the hypocrites will not run more in future and their fraud will be disclosed positively.

The obedience does not have the meaning that their tongues say, “Yes Sir, very well and all right”, but their hearts make up the mind to commit against it. After that; Messenger of  God (ﷺ) is being commanded, “Trust in God. What He desires to do; does it properly. Neither He needs any help of someone else, nor does He care for any opposite. He is Sufficient to complete all tasks. Believe in Him”.

After describing the double-faced policy (conspiracies and artifices) of the Hypocrites, God commanded to the Messenger (ﷺ), “You should turn away from them and put your trust in God; because His Adroitness is Sufficient. Neither you are needy of anybody and nor progress of Islam is connected with someone else”. https://youtu.be/0hq_fPLI9M4
