Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - An-Nahl : 94
وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۤا اَیْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًۢا بَیْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌۢ بَعْدَ ثُبُوْتِهَا وَ تَذُوْقُوا السُّوْٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدْتُّمْ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ١ۚ وَ لَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ
Do not make your oaths a means of deceiving one another or else your foot may slip after having been firm, 95 and you may suffer evil consequences because of hindering people from the way of Allah. A mighty chastisement awaits you.
95. That is, someone who might have been convinced of Islam, seeing your dishonest conduct should become disgusted and hold back from joining the believers. For he might argue like this: As these Muslims are not much different from the disbelievers in their morals and dealings, there is no reason why I should join them.
