وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ طَاعَةٌ ؗ فَاِذَا بَرَزُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَیَّتَ طَآىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ تَقُوْلُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَكْتُبُ مَا یُبَیِّتُوْنَ ۚ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِاللّٰهِ وَكِیْلًا ۟

Saheeh International
And they say, "[We pledge] obedience." But when they leave you, a group of them spend the night determining to do other than what you say. But Allāh records what they plan by night. So leave them alone and rely upon Allāh. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
The hypocrites say to you, ‘We follow your instruction and we will act with obedience’. Yet when they leave you, a group of them secretly plan the opposite of what they said to you. Allah knows their planning and He will recompense them accordingly. So turn away from them and pay no attention, as they will not harm you at all. Surrender your matter to Allah and rely on Him alone for He is sufficient for you as a Guardian to watch over your affairs and take care of you.
