(That) reversion to their old religion (is because they) the Jews (say unto those who hate) who disbelieve in secret, i.e. the hypocrites (what Allah hath revealed) what did Allah send with Gabriel to Muhammad (pbuh): (We will obey you) we will help you, O hypocrites, (in some matters) in the matter of Muhammad by saying “there is no deity save Allah” if he has the upper hand over us; (and Allah knoweth their secret talk) Allah knows the secret talk of the Jews with the hypocrites.
