Transliteration:( Mal'ooneena ainamaa suqifoo ukhizoo wa quttiloo taqteelaa )
"Cursed they are wherever they are found they shall be seized and be slain [182] one by one. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)"
This verse declares the fate of those hypocrites who persist in spreading mischief: they are cursed wherever they are found, and will be seized and slain one by one if they do not cease.
However, it's important to understand that during the Prophet’s lifetime, there was no blanket permission to kill or banish hypocrites, even though their identities were often known.
This restraint was maintained to preserve social order and prevent misunderstanding among the masses, who might not fully grasp the depth of the hypocrites’ deception.
Only if they continued openly and persistently in their harmful behavior, as warned in the previous verse, would this severe punishment be carried out—showing that mercy was offered before justice.
