Commentary
Strive against the disbelievers with the sword and against the hypocrites with argumentation. Use harshness and severity towards both groups in what you strive against them with in fighting and debate. And from Qatadah: Striving against the hypocrites is to establish the legal punishments upon them. And from Mujahid: It is with threats. And it is said: By revealing their secrets.
