وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ طَاعَةٌ ۖ فَاِذَا بَرَزُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَيَّتَ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَيْرَ الَّذِيْ تَقُوْلُ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُوْنَ ۚ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِيْلًا   ( النساء: ٨١ )

Sahih International:

And they say, "[We pledge] obedience." But when they leave you, a group of them spend the night determining to do other than what you say. But Allah records what they plan by night. So leave them alone and rely upon Allah. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (An-Nisa [4] : 81)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

They say, “Obedience (we observe).” But when they go away from you, a group of them conspires at night contrary to what they say. Allah records what they conspire. So ignore them and put your trust in Allah. Allah is enough to trust in.
