وَأَوْفُواْ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَاهَدتُّمْ وَلاَ تَنقُضُواْ ٱلأَيْمَانَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلاً إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
٩١
-An-Nahl ( النحل )

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

And fulfil God’s covenant, [effected] by way of pledges of allegiance and oaths and in other ways, when you made a covenant, and do not break [your] oaths after pledging them and having made God surety over you, that you will fulfill [the covenant], for you have sworn [the oath] by Him (the sentence wa-qad ja‘altumu’Llāha ‘alaykum kafīlan, ‘and having made God surety over you’, is a circumstantial qualifier). Truly God knows what you do — [this is] a threat for them.
