If an idolater seeks asylum with you, give him protection so that he
may hear theWord ofAllah, and then convey him to safety. For they are
ignorant men.
How can the idolaters have any treaty with Allah and His Apostle,
save those with whom you have made treaties at the Sacred Mosque?
So long as they keep faith with you, keep faith with them. Allah loves
the righteous.
How (can you trust them)? If they prevail against you, they will
respect neither agreements nor ties of kindred. They flatter you with
their tongues, but their hearts refuse. Most of themare evil-doers.
They sell Allah's revelations for a small price and debar others from
His path. Evil is what they do. They honour with the believers neither
treaties nor ties of kindred. Such are the transgressors.
If they repent and take to prayer and pay the alms-tax, they shall
become your brothers in the faith. ThusWe make plain Our revelations
for men of understanding.
But if, after coming to terms with you, they break their oaths and
revile your faith, make war on the leaders of unbelief-for no oaths are
bindingwith them-so that theymay desist.
Will you not fight against those who have broken their oaths and
conspired to banish the Apostle? They were the first to attack you. Do
you fear them? Surely Allah is more deserving of your fear, if you are
true believers.
Make war on them:Allah will chastise them through you and humble
