﴿ كَيْفَ وَإِن يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُوا۟ فِيكُمْ إِلًّۭا وَلَا ذِمَّةًۭ ۚ يُرْضُونَكُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ ﴾

“How [else could it be]? -since, if they [who are hostile to you] were to overcome you, they would not respect any tie [with you,] nor any obligation to protect [you]. They seek to please you with their mouths, the while their hearts remain averse [to you]; and most of them are iniquitous.”

How can they have a pact when if they get the better of you if they have the upper hand over you they do not respect they do not take into consideration any bond kinship or treaty pact with regard to you but will instead harm you as much as they can the conditional sentence ‘if they …’ is also a circumstantial qualifier pleasing you with their tongues with charming words while their hearts refuse to be true to these words; and most of them are wicked violators of pacts.
