1Turn then from them and rely on God, for God sufficeth for a guardian. Do they not meditate on the Qur'an? if it were from other than God they would find in it many a discrepancy. [85] And when there comes to them a matter of security or fear they publish it; but if they were to report it to the Apostle and to those in authority amongst them, then those of them who would elicit it from them would know it; but were it not for God’s grace upon you and His mercy ye had followed Satan, save a few. Fight, then, in the way of God ; impose not aught on any but thyself, and urge on the believers; it G2 84 THE QUR'AN, IV, 86-93. may be that God will restrain the violence of those who misbelieve, for God is more violent and more severe to punish. Whoso intercedes with a good intercession shall have a portion therefrom; but he who intercedes with a bad intercession shall have the like thereof, for God keeps watch over all things. And when ye are saluted with a salutation, salute with a better than it, or return it ;—verily, God of all things takes account. God, there is no God but He! He will surely assemble you on the resurrection day, there is no doubt therein; who is truer than God in his discourse ? [90] Why are ye two parties about the hypocrites, when God hath overturned them for what they earned? Do ye wish to guide those whom God hath led astray? Whoso God hath led astray ye shall not surely find for him a path. They would fain that ye misbelieve as they misbelieve, that ye might be alike; take ye not patrons from among them until they too flee in God’s way; but if they turn their backs, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them, and take from them neither patron nor help,—save those who reach a people betwixt whom and you is an alliance—or who come to you while their bosoms prevent them from fighting you or fighting their own people. But had God pleased He would have given you dominion over them, and they would surely have fought you. But if they retire from you and do not fight you, and offer you peace,—then God hath given you no way against them. Ye will find others who seek for quarter from IV, 93-96. THE CHAPTER OF WOMEN. 85 you, and quarter from their own people; whenever they return to sedition they shall be overturned therein: but if they retire not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them ;—over these we have made for you manifest power.
285 you, and quarter from their own people; whenever they return to sedition they shall be overturned therein: but if they retire not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them ;—over these we have made for you manifest power. It is not for a believer to kill a believer save by mistake ; and whosoever kills a believer by mistake then let him free a believing neck?; and the bloodmoney must be paid to his people save what they shall remit as alms. But if he be from a tribe hostile to you and yet a believer, then let him free a believing neck. And if it be a tribe betwixt whom and you there is an alliance, then let the blood-money be paid to his friends, and let him free a believing neck; but he who cannot find the means, then let him fast for two consecutive months —a penance this from God, for God is knowing, wise. [95] And whoso kills a believer purposely, his reward is hell, to dwell therein for aye; and God will be wrath with him, and curse him, and prepare for him a mighty woe. O ye who believe! when ye are knocking about in the way of God be discerning, and do not say to him who offers you a salutation, ‘ Thou art no believer,’ craving after the chances of this world’s life ?, for with God are many spoils! So were ye aforetime, but God was gracious to you, be ye then discerning ; verily, God of what ye do is well aware. 1 Captive. 2 Because a believer might not be attacked and plundered as an infidel might be. 86 THE QUR'AN. IV, 97-102. Not alike are those of the believers who sit at home without harm, and those who are strenuous in God’s way with their wealth and their persons. God hath preferred those who are strenuous with their wealth and their persons to those who sit still, by many degrees, and to each hath God promised good, but God hath preferred the strenuous for a mighty hire over those who sit still,—degrees from him, and pardon and mercy, for God is forgiving and merciful. Verily, the angels when they took the souls of those who had wronged themselves’, said, ‘ What state were ye in?’ they say, ‘We were but weak in the earth ;’ they said, ‘Was not God’s earth wide enough for you to flee away therein?’ These are those whose resort is hell, and a bad journey shall it be! [100] Save for the weak men, and women, and children, who could not compass any stratagem, and were not guided to a way; these it may be God will pardon, for God both pardons and _forgives. Whosoever flees in the way of God shall find in the earth many a spacious refuge; and he who goes forth from his house, fleeing unto God and His prophet, and then death catches him up,—his hire devolves on God, and God is forgiving and merciful. And when ye knock about in the earth, it is no crime to you that ye come short in prayer, if ye fear that those who disbelieve will set upon you; verily, the misbelievers are your obvious foes. 1 Alluding to some half-hearted Muslims, slain at Bedr.

THE CHAPTER OF WOMEN. 87 When thou art amongst them, and standest up to pray with them, then let a party of them stand up with thee, and let them take their arms; and when they adore, let them go behind you, and let another party who have not yet prayed come forward and pray with thee; and let them take their precautions and their arms. Fain would those who misbelieve that ye were careless of your arms and your baggage, that they might turn upon you with a single turning. And it is no crime to you if ye be annoyed with rain or be sick, that ye lay down your arms; but take your precautions,—verily, God has prepared for those who misbelieve a shameful woe. But when ye have fulfilled your prayer, remember God standing and sitting and lying on your sides; and when ye are in safety then be steadfast in prayer; verily, prayer is for the believers prescribed and timed! [105] And do not give way in pursuit of the people ; if ye suffer they shall surely suffer too, even as ye suffer; and ye hope from God, but they hope not! and God is knowing, wise. Verily, we have revealed to thee the Book in truth that thou mayest judge between men of what God has shown thee; so be not with the treacherous a disputant; but ask God’s pardon: verily, God is forgiving, merciful. And wrangle not for those who defraud themselves; for God loves not him who is a fraudulent sinner. They hide themselves from men; but they cannot hide themselves from God, for He is with them while they brood at night over speeches 88 THE QUR'AN. IV, 108-116. that please Him not;—but God doth compass what they do! Here are ye, wrangling for them about this world’s life ;—but who shall wrangle with God for them on the day of judgment, or who shall be a guardian over them? [110] Yet whoso does evil and wrongs himself, and then asks pardon of God, shall find God forgiving and merciful ; and whoso commits a crime, he only commits it against himself, for God is knowing, wise. And whoso commits a fault or a sin and throws it on the innocent, he hath to bear a calumny and a manifest sin. Were it not for God’s grace upon thee, and His mercy, a party of them would have tried to lead thee astray; but they only lead themselves astray; they shall not hurt you in aught: for God hath sent down upon thee the Book and the wisdom, and taught thee what thou didst not know, for God’s grace was mighty on thee. There is no good in most of what they talk in private ; save in his who bids almsgiving, or kindness, or reconciliation between men; and whoso does this, craving the good pleasure of God, we will give to him a mighty hire.
