Tafsir of Surah At-Tawba 9:64

﴿يَحْذَرُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ قُلِ اسْتَهْزِئُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ﴾

Translation of the meaning

The hypocrites are apprehensive lest a sūrah be revealed about them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock [as you wish]; indeed, Allāh will expose that which you fear."

بل لما نافقوا وحذروا أن تنزل سورة تبين ما في قلوبهم من النفاق وتكلموا بالاستهزاء صاروا كافرين بعد إيمانهم«مجموع الفتاوى» 7/272
