The analysis above refers to the fourth verse of chapter 63 (sūrat l-munāfiqūn):

Sahih International: And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
