ʾa-lam tara ʾilā lladhīna tawallaw qawman ghaḍiba llāhu ʿalayhim mā hum minkum wa-lā minhum wa-yaḥlifūna ʿalā l-kadhibi wa-hum yaʿlamūna
Have you not regarded those who befriend a people at whom Allah is wrathful? They neither belong to you, nor to them, and they swear false oaths [that they are with you] and they know.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Mujadila - Verses 14-15
14. Have you not seen those who take as friends a people upon whom is the Wrath of Allah? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to a lie to be amongst you while they know.
15. Allah has prepared for them a severe torment. Evil indeed is that which they do.
The blessed two Verses partially disclose hypocrites' conspiracies reflecting their tokens as well. Such disclosure preceded by the blessed Verses treating of holding private counsels reveals that there were also hypocrites holding private consultations with the Noble Prophet (S) who used such stratagems to take advantage of their intimacy with the Noble Prophet (S). Thus, the Holy Qur’an treats the same on general terms, asking:

The blessed Verse 14 proceeds to say
They are neither you friends in hardships nor are they their intimate friends, but they are hypocrites changing their masks each and every single day. They take false oaths to indicate that they stand by you, but they know that they are dissimulating. Hypocrites habitually cover their ugly and disgusting countenances through resorting to false oaths, whereas their deeds reflect their true identity. The blessed Verse 15 makes a reference to such obstinate hypocrites saying:
Such torments are just, since:
and evil deeds entail Divine torment and retribution.
