Then he described them in a way that indicates that they are the concealers of disbelief; by His saying, "Those who take the disbelievers as allies"; meaning: those who openly declare disbelief; "as allies"; meaning: they seek strength through them; repelling the approach of their description; so that the one who is saved may be distinguished from the hypocrite; and clarifying that their intention with their allegiance is merely to seek strength through them; for their matter is based on worldly gain; and he pointed out the lowliness of their affair; and that the one who is immersed in faith is the highest of people; by His saying: "besides the believers"; meaning: those who are immersed in faith; then he denied this intention against them by saying: "Do they seek?"; meaning: the hypocrites; they seek with great demand; "with them"; meaning: the disbelievers; "the might"; as if he said: their seeking might through them is foolishness of opinion; and far from the truth; for there is nothing of might with them.

And when he denied this seeking against them; he justified it by saying: "For indeed, might belongs to Allah"; meaning: the One who has no equal; "altogether"; meaning: they are the enemies of Allah; for what is expected for them is a blow of humiliation; and disgrace; and how beautiful is the connection of this verse to the beginning of the verses warning against the people of the Book: "Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture" [An-Nisa: 44]; concluded by His saying: "And sufficient is Allah as a protector, and sufficient is Allah as a helper" [An-Nisa: 45]!
