Stirring Trouble

They say, “We obey,” but when they leave you, a group of them plots against what you have said. Allah records their schemes, so ignore them and trust in Him.

4:81And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou sayest. Allah recordeth what they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.

When news of security or fear reaches them, they spread it without thought. If they had referred it to the Messenger or those in authority, those who analyze matters would have understood it.

4:83And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto them, they noise it abroad, whereas if they had referred it to the messenger and to such of them as are in authority, those among them who are able to think out the matter would have known it. If it had not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy ye would have followed Satan, save a few (of you).
