They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason.

لَاا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلاَّ فِي قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَاء جُدُرٍ
They fight not against you even together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls.

بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ

It is as said,
وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ
And make you to taste the violence of one another. (6:65)
Allah said in the Ayah,
تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّى
You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided.

Ibrahim An-Nakha`i said that this Ayah refers to the hypocrites and the People of the Scriptures,
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَعْقِلُونَ
That is because they are a people who understand not.
Allah said,
كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيبًا ذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
