Commentary
So if they repent from disbelief and break the covenant, then they are your brothers in religion. This is understood by omitting the subject, like His saying, 'If you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers.' And We explain the verses and clarify them. This is an interruption, as if it were said: And whoever contemplates their detail is the one who knows, urging and encouraging to contemplate what has been detailed of the rulings concerning the polytheists who have a covenant, and to preserve them.
