Allah said:
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ
And when it it said to them: "Do not make mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers." — meaning, "We seek to be friends with both parties, the believers and the disbelievers, and to have peace with both parties."
Similarly, Muhammad bin Ishaq reported from Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنهم) said,
« وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ »
And when it it said to them: "Do not make mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers." — means, "We seek to make amends between the believers and the People of the book."
Allah said,
« أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ »
Verily, they are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. —
This ayah means that the hypocrites' behaviour, and their claim that it is for peace, is itself mischief, although in their ignorance, they do not see it to be mischief.
