هَآأَنْتُمْ أُوْلاۤءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْكِتَابِ كُلِّهِ وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمْ قَالُوۤاْ آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْاْ عَضُّواْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلأَنَامِلَ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ قُلْ مُوتُواْ بِغَيْظِكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[3:119] Lo, there you are, you love them, but they love you not; you believe in the Book, all of it, and when they meet you they say, 'We believe', but when they are alone, they bite at you their fingertips, in rage.
Your hearts, in the matter of your magnanimity, are free of impurities so sympathy predominates in you for them. But they, in their ferocious recalcitrance and antagonism, deceive you in what they are capable of doing. Because of their savageness you will not receive a drop of anything from them but their rage, so free your heart of them, O Muhammad
[3:119 cont'd] Say: 'Perish in your rage. God knows what is in the breasts'.
Leave them alone in suffering the rage we have caused to enter them, and be relaxed in your hearts from what has happened to them, for God is nearer to His servants; He bestows what He will on whom He will.
