Muhammad - 47:22 So if you should come to power, you would make corruption in the earth and break the ties of kinship?
Those dealt with in the context of verses 20, 21...23 are the hypocrites who were the first to start the war, who did not abide by the agreement, and who refrained from fighting against the pagans who slaughtered the believers without regard to kinship when they prevailed:
The Repentance/9:7 What agreement can the idolaters have with Allah and His Messenger? Except those who have made an agreement with you in the Holy Mosque. Observe their rights as they observe yours. Allah loves the righteous.
The Repentance/9:8 How can it be? If they had prevailed over you, they would have observed neither kinship nor treaty. With their mouths they speak pleasant words to pacify you, but their hearts desire the opposite. Many of them have gone astray.
The Repentance/9:9 They sold the verses of Allah for a small price and went astray from His way. How evil is what they do.
The Repentance/9:10 They do not consider for a believer any kinship or agreement; they are the aggressors and transgressors.
The Repentance/9:11 If they repent and establish prayer and pay zakat, they will be your brothers in religion. Thus do We explain the verses to those who know.
The Repentance/9:12 If they break their covenant after they have made a covenant and attack your religion, fight the leaders of disbelief, for their covenant is null and void. Perhaps they will desist.
The Repentance/9:13 Are you not going to fight against the people who break their covenant and attempt to drive out the messenger and are the first to start (war) with you? Or do you fear them? It is Allah whom you should fear if you believe.
The Repentance/9:14 Fight them, so that Allah may punish them with your hands and make you victorious, and give relief to the believing people,
The Repentance/9:15 Remove the anger from their hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
The Repentance/9:16 Do you think that you will be left until Allah knows and distinguishes between those among you who strive hard for Him and those who take none as close friends except Allah and His Messenger and the believers? Allah is All-Knowing of what you do.
Muhammad/47:20 "The believers used to say, "What if a period (permitting war) were sent down?"But when a clear surah is sent down and war is mentioned in it, you see those in whose hearts is a disease looking at you as one faints for fear of death. It is suitable for them,"
Muhammad/47:21 Obedience and eloquence. It would have been better for them if they had been honest with Allah when the matter was decided.
Muhammad/47:22 So if you should come to power, you would make corruption in the earth and break the ties of kinship?
Muhammad/47:23 These are they whom Allah has cursed and made deaf and blind.
