63:3
ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
They have made their oaths a shield; thus they turn men away from the way of Allah. Evil surely is that which they have been doing.

They have made their oaths a shield; thus they turn men away from the way of Allah.[b] Surely, evil is that which they have been doing.[4245]
9:9.
Commentary:
The hypocrites make loud professions of their faith and repeatedly declare on solemn oaths that they are sincere believers. This they do in order to hoodwink honest and unsuspecting believers into thinking that they are sincere and faithful followers of Islam like themselves, and thus by winning the believers’ confidence they seek to create mischief among them. This is how they make their oaths a screen for their wicked designs.
English - Short Commentary Translation
They have made their oaths a cloak; thus [b]they hinder men from the way of Allah. Surely, evil is that which they have been doing.
