90b. So, if they hold
aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, then Allah
has alloweth you no way against them.
91. Ye will find others who desire that they should have
security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are
returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from
you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them
wherever ye find them. And against them We have given you clear warrant.

Commentary
‘I’-taza-luukum - (they hold aloof from you). It is from ‘i’-tizaal, which is from ‘azala. ‘Azala means ‘to hold aloof, to remain separate, to avoid from
troubling someone’. Ma’-zuul has also been derived from
it.
‘As-salama – (peace, truce), Islam, tasliim and many other words have come
out from it. It means ‘wish of safety (for self and others), giving shelter’.
Here the word ‘As-salama has been used also for
friendship and union besides the word peace.
saqif-tumuuhum – (you find them). The substance of this word is saqiif,
which means ‘to find, to acquire’. Its aim is that whenever the war is declared,
then you should kill the enemy wherever you find him. Mind it that this order
is not for the common days of peace, but only in the condition of war.
It
has been described in this verse that if these people remain bound after the
treaty of truce, give up fighting and remain in peace, then you are not
permitted to narrow them. After that, another group of hypocrite infidels has
been discussed. These are the people, who neither want to fight against you,
nor against their own nation. They make a covenant with you that they will not
make a war on you. But when they observe that your enemies have been
increasing, then they do not regard your articles of agreement and join your
enemies. If such people come to break the covenant and begin rigidity, then you
should also fight and destroy them, wherever you find them, because you have a
perfect reason against them that they have become faithless to their covenant.
