Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified villages or from behind walls. Their adversity among themselves is very great. Ye think of them as a whole whereas their hearts are divers. That is because they are a folk who have no sense.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

They will not fight you (even) together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) amongst themselves: thou wouldst think they were united, but their hearts are divided: that is because they are a people devoid of wisdom.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم قال ( لا يقاتلونكم جميعا إلا في قرى محصنة أو من وراء جدر ) يعني : أنهم من جبنهم وهلعهم لا يقدرون على مواجهة جيش الإسلام بالمبارزة والمقابلة بل إما في حصون أو من وراء جدر محاصرين ، فيقاتلون للدفع عنهم ضرورة .

ثم قال ( بأسهم بينهم شديد ) أي : عداوتهم فيما بينهم شديدة ، كما قال : ( ويذيق بعضكم بأس بعض ) [ الأنعام : 65 ] ; ولهذا قال : ( تحسبهم جميعا وقلوبهم شتى ) أي : تراهم مجتمعين فتحسبهم مؤتلفين ، وهم مختلفون غاية الاختلاف .

قال : إبراهيم النخعي : يعني : أهل الكتاب والمنافقين ( ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يعقلون )
