Basic HTML Version
Do you not see those who were forbidden secret counsels, then they
return to that which they are forbidden and hold secret counsels for
iniquity and hostility and disobedience of the Messenger? When they
come to you they salute you in words with whichAllah does not greet
you and ask themselves: 'Why does Allah not punish us for what we
say? ' Hell is scourge enough for them: they shall burn in its flames, a
wretched fate.
Believers, when you converse in private do not speak with
wickedness and enmity and disobedience towards the Apostle, but
with justice and with piety. Have fear ofAllah, before whom you shall
be brought together.
Secret counsels are the work of the devil, who thereby seeks to
annoy the faithful. Yet he can harm them not at all, except by Allah's
leave. InAllah let the faithful put their trust.
Believers, make room in your assemblies when you are bidden to do
so; Allah will make room for you. Again, rise up when you are told to
rise;Allah will raise to high ranks those that have faith and knowledge
among you. He is cognizant of all your actions.
Believers, when you consult the Apostle, give alms before such
consultation. That is best and purest for you. But if you lack the
means, know thatAllah is Forgiving andMerciful.
Do you hesitate to offer alms before your consultations with him? If
you do not-and Allah will pardon your offence-then recite your
prayers and pay the alms-tax and show obedience to Allah and His
Apostle.Allah is cognizant of all your actions.
