They profess obedience [to you], but when they go out from your presence, a group of them conspire overnight [to do] something other than what you say. But Allah records what they conspire overnight. So disregard them and put your trust in Allah, for Allah suffices as trustee.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah An-Nisa', Verse 81
81. "And they express: 'Obedience', but when they go out from your presence, a group of them spend the night in deciding other than what you say; and Allah writes down what they decide by night. Therefore, turn aside from them and trust in Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a protector."
In this verse, the Qur'an has pointed to the situation of some hypocrites, or a group of people whose faith is weak. It says that when they come beside the Prophet (S) and are in the row of Muslims, they harmonize with others, and express that they obey the command of the holy Prophet (S) and that they are most willingly ready to follow the Messenger of Allah.
But when people go out from the presence of the Prophet (S), those h the persons whose faith is weak neglect their promises and, in their night meetings, they make some decisions against the words of the holy Prophet (S); but Allah (s.w.t.) records what they say in such meetings. It says:
Yet, Allah commands His Messenger to turn aside from them with no fear from their plots. He is ordered not to rely on them in his affairs but to trust only in Allah, the Lord, Who is the best assisting helper and the Protector.
