And there are others among them who molest the Prophet, saying:
'He believes everything he hears.' Say: 'He hears only what is good for
you. He believes in Allah and puts his trust in the faithful. He is a
blessing to the true believers among you. Those that wrong theApostle
ofAllah shall be sternly punished.'
They swear in the name ofAllah in order to please you. But it is more
just that they should please Allah and His Apostle, if they are true
believers.
Are they not aware that the man who defies Allah and His apostle
shall abide for ever in the fire of Hell? That surely is the supreme
humiliation.
The hypocrites are afraid lest a Sura be revealed to them, telling them
what is in their hearts. Say: 'Scoff if you will; Allah will surely bring to
light what you are dreading.'
If you question them, they will say: 'We were only jesting andmaking
merry.' Say: 'Would you mock at Allah, His revelations, and His
Apostle? Make no excuses. You disbelieved after your belief. If we
forgive some of you,We will punish others, for they are guiltymen.'
Be they men or women, the hypocrites are all alike. They enjoin what
is evil, forbid what is just, and tighten their purse-strings. They forsook
Allah, soAllah forsook them. Surely the hypocrites are evil-doers.
Allah has promised the hypocrites, both men and women, and the
unbelievers, the fire of Hell. They shall abide in it for ever. It is
sufficient for them. The curse of Allah is upon them; theirs shall be a
lasting torment.
