73 O Prophet, strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be firm against them. And their abode is hell, and evil is the destination. |
74 They swear by Allāh that they said nothing. And certainly they did speak the word of disbelief, and disbelieved after their Islām, and they purposed that which they could not attain. And they sought revenge only because Allāh — as well as His Messenger — had enriched them out of His grace. So if they repent, it will be good for them; and if they turn away, Allāh will chastise them with a painful chastisement in this world and the Hereafter; and they shall have in the earth neither a friend nor a helper. |
75 And of them are those who made a covenant with Allāh: If He give us out of His grace, we will certainly give alms and be of the righteous. |
76 But when He gave them out of His grace, they became niggardly of it and they turned away and they are averse. |
77 So He requited them with hypocrisy in their hearts till the day when they meet Him, because they broke their promise with Allāh and because they lied. |
78 Know they not that Allāh knows their hidden thoughts and their secret counsels, and that Allāh is the great Knower of the unseen things? |
79 Those who taunt the free givers of alms among the believers as well as those who cannot find anything (to give) but with their hard labour — they scoff at them. Allāh will pay them back their mockery; and for them is a painful chastisement. |
80 Ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them. Even if thou ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allāh will not forgive them. This is because they disbelieve in Allāh and His Messenger. And Allāh guides not the transgressing people. |
81 Those who were left behind were glad on account of their sitting behind Allāh’s Messenger, and they were averse to striving in Allāh’s way with their property and their persons, and said: Go not forth in the heat. Say: The Fire of hell is fiercer in heat. If only they could understand! |
