They had already desired dissension before and had upset matters for you (9:48)

﴿لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوا لَكَ الْأُمُورَ حَتَّىٰ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ﴾
[ التوبة: 48]

9:48 They had already desired dissension before and had upset matters for you until the truth came and the ordinance of Allah appeared, while they were averse.

These hypocrites had already tried to cause trouble by creating division amongst the believers before the Battle of Tabūk, by making things difficult for the Messenger ( peace be upon him ) through their schemes and plots, so that they might affect the Prophet’s determination to fight.
This was until the help and support of Allah arrived, and He strengthened His path and overcame His enemies, although they hated this, because they wanted what was false to overcome the truth.

Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset matters for you, - until the truth (victory) came and the Decree of Allah (His Religion, Islam) became manifest though they hated it.
