Al-Baqarah
وَإِذَا لَقُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ شَيَٰطِينِهِمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مَعَكُمۡ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
14And when they meet the believers, they say: “We believe.” And when they are alone with their Shayatin (i.e. hypocrites), they say (in privacy): “We are, indeed, with you. We were only mocking (at the believers).”
14The reason for descending the verse
It is reported by Mujahid who said, “Four verses from the beginning of this surah were revealed about the believers, and two verses after these four were revealed about the disbelievers, and thirteen verses after these last two were revealed about the hypocrites.” (Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
