The second interpretation:

968 - My father narrated to us, Ahmad ibn Abi al-Hawwari narrated to us, 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Umayr narrated to me, saying: The name of Jibril among the angels is "Khadim Rabbihi" (Servant of His Lord). He said: I narrated this to Abu Sulayman al-Darani, and he was moved/shook, and said: "This hadith is more beloved to me than everything in the notebook that was before me."

His saying: "Then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers"

969 - 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Bishr ibn al-Hakam informed us in what he wrote to me, Musa ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Qinbari narrated to us, al-Hakam ibn Aban narrated to us, 'Uthman ibn Hadir narrated to me, Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to me, saying: "O Ibn Hadir, do you know who is the disbeliever? Indeed, Allah says that they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger."

His saying: "And We have certainly sent down to you signs [as] clear proofs"

970 - 'Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated to us, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us, Yunus ibn Bukayr narrated to us, Ibn Ishaq narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Abi Muhammad narrated to me, Sa'id ibn Jubayr or 'Ikrimah informed me, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: Ibn Suriya said to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): "O Muhammad, you have not brought us anything that we recognize, and Allah has not sent down to you any clear sign so that we may follow you." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed concerning that his saying: "And We have certainly sent down to you signs [as] clear proofs, and no one disbelieves in them except the defiantly disobedient (al-fasiqun)."

His saying: "And no one disbelieves in them except the defiantly disobedient"

971 - My father narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn Harb, from Hammad ibn Zayd, from Ibn Jurayj, from Mujahid regarding "the defiantly disobedient (al-fasiqun)": He said, "The disobedient."

972 - Abu Yazid al-Qaratisi informed us in what he wrote to me, Asbagh ibn al-Faraj narrated to us, I heard 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam saying regarding His saying: "the defiantly disobedient (al-fasiqun)": He said, "The liars."

His saying: "Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant"

973 - 'Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated to us, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us, Yunus ibn Bukayr narrated to us, Ibn Ishaq narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Abi Muhammad, 'Ikrimah or Sa'id ibn Jubayr informed me, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: Malik ibn al-Dayf said when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was sent—and he reminded them of what had been taken from them of the covenant and what was promised to them regarding Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): "By Allah, no covenant was made with us regarding Muhammad, nor was any pledge taken from us." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant, a party of them threw it away?"
