* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ طَاعَةٌ وَقَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ فَإِذَا عَزَمَ ٱلأَمْرُ فَلَوْ صَدَقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَكَانَ خَيْراً لَّهُمْ }

would be to offer obedience and honourable words that is words that are kind to you. Then when the matter has been resolved upon that is to say when fighting has been prescribed if they are loyal to God in faith and obedience it will be better for them the sentence beginning with law ‘if’ constitutes the response to idhā ‘when’.
