كَيْفَ وَإِن يَظْهَرُوا۟
عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُوا۟
فِيكُمْ إِلًّا وَلَا
ذِمَّةً ۚ يُرْضُونَكُم
بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمْ
وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ
How When if you
are overpowered by
them, they regard
not the ties, either
of kinship, (Ill) or of
covenant (Dhimmah)
With their mouths
they please you,
but their hearts
are averse to you,
and most of them
are rebellious.
Allah encourages the believers to show enmity to the idolators and to dissociate from them, affirming that they do not deserve to enjoy a covenant of peace, because of their Shirk in Allah and disbelief in Allah’s Messenger.

If these disbelievers have a chance to defeat Muslims, they will cause great mischief, leave nothing unharmed, disregard the ties of kinship and the sanctity of their vows. `Ali bin Abi Talhah, `Ikrimah and Al-`Awfi narrated that Ibn `Abbas said, “Ill means kinship, while, Dhimmah means covenant.” Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi said similarly.
