Quran 59:15 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
their likeness in relinquishing faith is as the likeness of those who recently before them a short time before — these being the idolaters from among those who fought at Badr — tasted the evil consequences of their conduct the punishment for it in this world by being killed or otherwise. And for them there will be a painful chastisement in the Hereafter.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
They are like those Pagans of Quraish, who tasted the fatal consequences of the evil way they conducted themselves in life not long ago at the battle of Badr, and there is yet an unsparing penalty and condign punishment
Quran 59:15 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
The False Promise of Support the Hypocrites gave to the Jews
Allah states that the hypocrites, `Abdullah bin Ubayy and his like, sent a messenger to Bani An-Nadir promising them help.
Allah the Exalted said,
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نَـفَقُواْ يَقُولُونَ لإِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلاَ نُطِيعُ فيكُمْ أَحَداً أَبَداً وَإِن قُوتِلْتُمْ لَنَنصُرَنَّكُمْ
( Have you not observed the hypocrites who say to their friends among the People of the Scripture who disbelieve: "If you are expelled, we indeed will go out with you, and we shall never obey anyone against you; and if you are attacked, we shall indeed help you." ) Allah then said,
وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَـذِبُونَ
( But Allah is Witness that they verily are liars. ) meaning, the hypocrites lied when they issued this promise, because it was just words that they did not intend to fulfill.
Also, what they said they would do, would never have been fulfilled by them, and this is why Allah said,
وَلَئِن قُوتِلُواْ لاَ يَنصُرُونَهُمْ
( and if they are attacked, they will never help them. ) meaning, the hypocrites will not fight along with the Jews,
وَلَئِن نَّصَرُوهُمْ
( And (even ) if they do help them, ) and even if the hypocrites did fight along their side,
لَيُوَلُّنَّ الاٌّدْبَـرَ ثُمَّ لاَ يُنصَرُونَ
( they will turn their backs, and they will not be victorious. ) This Ayah contains good news, just as the good news that this following Ayah conveys,
لاّنتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِى صُدُورِهِمْ مِّنَ اللَّهِ
( Verily, you are more fearful in their breasts than Allah. ) meaning, the hypocrites fear you more than they fear Allah, as He says;
إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ كَخَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَشَدَّ خَشْيَةً
( Behold! a section of them fear men as they fear Allah or even more. )( 4:77 ) This is why Allah said,
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُونَ
( That is because they are a people who comprehend not. ) Allah then said,
لاَ يُقَـتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعاً إِلاَّ فِى قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَآءِ جُدُرٍ
( They fight not against you even together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. ) meaning, they will not fight Muslims except from behind besieged fortified forts, because of their cowardice and fear of Muslims.
They only fight when they have to defend themselves ( even though they threaten Muslims of reprisals ).
Allah the Exalted said,
بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ
( Their enmity among themselves is very great. ) meaning, the enmity they feel against each other is intense,
وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ
( And make you to taste the violence of one another. )( 6:65 ) Allah said in the Ayah,
تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّى
( You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided. ) meaning, even though one might see them combining forces and think that these forces are harmonious, yet in reality, they are divided severely.
Ibrahim An-Nakha`i said that this Ayah refers to the hypocrites and the People of the Scriptures,
ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَعْقِلُونَ
( That is because they are a people who understand not. ) Allah said,
كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيباً ذَاقُواْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
( They are like their immediate predecessors; they tasted the evil result of their conduct, and for them a painful torment. ) referring to the Jewish tribe of Bani Qaynuqa`, according to Ibn `Abbas, Qatadah and Muhammad bin Ishaq.
The Parable of the Hypocrites and the Jews
Allah said,
كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطَـنِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلإِنسَـنِ اكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّى بَرِىءٌ مِّنكَ
( Like Shaytan, when he says to man: "Disbelieve." But when (man ) disbelieves, Shaytan says: "I am free of you...") meaning, the example of the Jews being deceived by the promises of the hypocrites, who said that they will help them if Muslims fight them, is that of the devil.
When matters got serious and the Jews were besieged, the hypocrites betrayed them and abandoned them to taste utter defeat.
Likewise, the devil lures mankind into disbelief and when they obey him, he disowns them and declares himself free of their actions, saying,
إِنِّى أَخَافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
( I fear Allah, the Lord of all that exists! ) Allah said,
فَكَانَ عَـقِبَتَهُمَآ أَنَّهُمَا فِى النَّارِ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَا
( So, the end of both will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. ) meaning, the end of both he, Shaytan, who commanded that dis- belief be committed, and those who accep- ted his call, was in the fire of Hell forever,
وَذَلِكَ جَزَآءُ الظَّـلِمِينَ
( Such is the recompense of the wrongdoers.
) means, this is the recompense of every unjust person.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(59:15) They are like those who tasted the evil consequences of their deeds *26 a short while before. A grievous chastisement awaits them.
[Theirs is] like the example of those meaning
*26) The allusion is to the disbelievers of the Quraish and the Jewish clan of the Bani Qrainuqa who had been defeated by a handful of ill-equipped Muslims in spite of their larger numbers and superior equipment, due mainly to these weaknesses

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( On the likeness of those (who suffered ) a short time before them) He says: the similitude of Banu Qurayzah with regard to breaking covenants and the punishment inflicted upon them as a result is like that of the Banu’l-Nadir two years before them, ( they taste the ill-effects of their conduct ) they, i.e. Banu’l-Nadir, taste the punishment of breaking their covenant, ( and theirs is painful punishment ) in the Hereafter.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
They are like their immediate predecessors (the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', who suffered), they tasted the evil result of their conduct, and (in the Hereafter, there is) for them a painful torment;
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
