  • إِنَّهُمۡ Indeed
  • سَآءَ evil is
  • مَا what
  • كَانُواْ they used (to)
  • يَعۡمَلُونَ do
They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allāh. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.
They have taken their oaths as a shield, as a [means of] protection for their possessions and their lives, and so they have barred, thereby, from the way of God, that is, from using them for the struggle. Evil indeed is that which they are wont to do.
