There are believers among them, though most of them are sinners. They shall surely not harm you save a hurt!; and if they fight you, they shall show you their backs, then they shall not be helped. They are smitten with abasement wherever they be found, save for the rope of God and the rope of man?; and they draw on themselves wrath from God. They are smitten, too, with poverty; that is because they did disbelieve in God’s signs, and kill the prophets undeservedly. That is because they did rebel and did transgress. They are not all alike. Of the people of the Book there is a nation upright, reciting God’s signs throughout the night, as they adore the while.

2[115] Ye it is who love them, but they love not you ; and ye believe in the Book, all of it. But when they meet you they say, ‘We believe ;’ and when they go aside they bite their finger tips at you through rage. Say, ‘Die in your rage, for God doth know the nature of men’s breasts.’ If good luck touch you it is bad for them, but if bad luck befal you they rejoice therein ; yet if ye are patient and fear, their tricks shall not harm you, for what they do God comprehends. When thou didst set forth early? from thy people to settle for the believers a camp to fight ;—but God both hears and knows ;—when two companies of you were on the point of showing cowardice; but God was their guardian, for on God surely the believers do rely, Why! God gave you victory at Bedr when ye were in a poor way; fear God, then, haply ye may give thanks. [120] When thou didst say unto the believers, ‘Is it not enough for you that your Lord assists you with three thousand of the angels 1 This refers to the battle of Ohod, when Mohammed experienced a severe check, and lost two teeth by a shot from an arrow. 62 THE QurR’AN, IIL, 121-131. sent down from on high? Yea, if ye are patient and fear God, and they come upon you on a sudden, now, your Lord will assist you with five thousand of His angels, (angels) of mark. God only made this as glad tidings for you to comfort your hearts withal,— for victory is but from God, the mighty, the wise ; —to cut off the flank of those who misbelieve, or make them downcast, that they may retire disappointed.’ Thou hast nothing to do with the affair at all, whether He turn towards them again or punish them ; for, verily, they are unjust. God’s is what is in the heavens and in the earth. He forgives whom He pleases, and punishes whom He pleases; for God is forgiving and merciful. [125] O ye who believe! devour not usury doubly doubled, but fear God, perchance ye may be prosperous; fear the fire which is prepared for the unbelievers, and obey God and His Apostle, perchance ye may get mercy. And vie with one another for pardon from your Lord, and for Paradise, the breadth of which is as the heaven and the earth, prepared for those who fear ;—for those who expend in-alms, in prosperity and adversity, for those who repress their rage, and those who pardon men ; God loves the kind. Those who when they do a crime, or wrong themselves, remember God, and ask forgiveness for their sins,—and who forgives sins save God?—and do not persevere in what they did, the while they know ;—[{130} these have their reward : —pardon from their Lord, and gardens beneath which rivers flow, dwelling therein for aye; for pleasant is the hire of those who act like this.

Do ye think that ye can enter Paradise and God not know those of you who have fought well, or know the patient? Why, ye longed for death before ye met it! Now ye have looked upon it and ye halt! Mohammed is but an apostle; apostles have passed away before his time; what if he die or is killed, will ye retreat upon your heels? He who retreats upon his heels does no harm to God at all; but God will recompense the thankful. It is not for any soul to die, save by God’s permission written down for an appointed time; but he who wishes for the reward of this world we will give him of it, and he who wishes for the reward of the future we will give him of it, and we will recompense the grateful.
