أَوَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ٧٧

Saheeh International

But do they not know that Allah knows what they conceal and what they declare?

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

Know they (Jews) not that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal.Abu Al-Aliyah said about Allah's statement, "Meaning their secret denial and rejection of Muhammad, although they find his coming recorded in their Book."This is also the Tafsir of Qatadah.Al-Hasan commented on, أَنَّ اللّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ (That Allah knows what they conceal),"What they concealed refers to when they were alone with each other away from the Companions of Muhammad. Then they would forbid each other from conveying the news that Allah revealed to them in their Book to the Companions of Muhammad, fearing that the Companions would use this news (about the truth of Muhammad) against them before their Lord."وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ (And what they reveal) meaning,when they said to the Companions of Muhammad, امَنَّا (We believe), as Abu Al-Aliyah, Ar-Rabi and Qatadah stated
