Tafsir of verse 57
Al-Mukhtasar
If you, O Messenger, face in battle these people who break their pledges, then make a harsh example of them so that others hear about it, take a lesson from that and become afraid of fighting you and supporting your enemies against you.
If you encounter them in battle, make a fearsome example of them33 for those who are behind them, so that they may be deterred.
Notes
[33] i.e., Treat the treacherous who betray their pledges with due severity.
So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.
If ye gain the mastery over them in war, disperse, with them, those who follow them, that they may remember.
Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful.
So definitely in case you ever catch them in the war, then deal with them so as to disperse the ones (who1..are) behind them, that possibly they would constantly remember.
