يَحْذَرُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌۭ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ ۚ قُلِ ٱسْتَهْزِءُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌۭ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ

سُورَةُ التَّوۡبَةِ
English — Sahih International
They hypocrites are apprehensive lest a surah be revealed about them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock [as you wish]; indeed, Allah will expose that which you fear."
اردو — مودودی
یہ منافق ڈر رہے ہیں کہ کہیں مسلمانوں پر کوئی ایسی سورت نازل نہ ہو جائے جو ان کے دلوں کے بھید کھول کر رکھ دے اے نبیؐ، ان سے کہو، "اور مذاق اڑاؤ، اللہ اُس چیز کو کھول دینے والا ہے جس کے کھل جانے سے تم ڈرتے ہو"
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Orang-orang yang munafik itu takut akan diturunkan terhadap mereka sesuatu surat yang menerangkan apa yang tersembunyi dalam hati mereka. Katakanlah kepada mereka: "Teruskanlah ejekan-ejekanmu (terhadap Allah dan rasul-Nya)". Sesungguhnya Allah akan menyatakan apa yang kamu takuti itu.
Ibn Kathir
The Hypocrites fear Public Exposure of Their Secrets
Mujahid said, "The hypocrites would say something to each other then declare, `We wish that Allah does not expose this secret of ours," There is a similar Ayah to this one, that is, Allah's statement,
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلاَ يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
(And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not, and say within themselves: "Why should Allah punish us not for what we say" Hell will be sufficient for them; they will burn therein. And worst indeed is that destination!) 58:8. Allah said in this Ayah,
قُلِ اسْتَهْزِءُواْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ
(Say: "(Go ahead and) mock! But certainly Allah will bring to light all that you fear."), He will expose and explain your reality to His Messenger through revelation. Allah said in other Ayat,
أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ أَن لَّن يُخْرِجَ اللَّهُ أَضْغَـنَهُمْ
(Or do those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy), think that Allah will not bring to light all their hidden ill-wills) 47:29, until,
وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِى لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ
(but surely, you will know them by the tone of their speech!)47:30. This is why, according to Qatadah, this Surah is called `Al-Fadihah' (the Exposing), because it exposed the hypocrites.
المُيَسَّر
يخاف المنافقون أن تنزل في شأنهم سورة تخبرهم بما يضمرونه في قلوبهم من الكفر، قل لهم -أيها النبي-: استمروا على ما أنتم عليه من الاستهزاء والسخرية، إن الله مخرج حقيقة ما تحذرون.
