Verily, those who give Bai'âh (pledge) to you (O Muhammad SAW)
they are giving Bai'âh (pledge) to Allâh. The Hand of Allâh is over their hands.
Then whosoever breaks his pledge, breaks it only to
his own harm, and whosoever fulfils what he has covenanted with Allâh, He will
bestow on him a great reward. (10) Those of the bedouins who lagged behind will
say to you: "Our possessions and our families occupied us, so ask
forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their
hearts. Say: "Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf
with Allâh, if He intends you hurt or intends you benefit? Nay, but Allâh is Ever All-Aware of what you do. (11) "Nay, but you
thought that the Messenger (SAW) and the believers would never return to their
families; and that was made fair-seeming in your hearts, and you did think an
evil thought and you became a useless people going for destruction." (12) And whosoever does
not believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), then verily, We have
prepared for the disbelievers a blazing Fire[]. (13) And to Allâh belongs
the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, He forgives whom He wills, and
punishes whom He wills. And Allâh is Ever
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (14) Those who lagged behind will say, when you
set forth to take the spoils, "Allow us to follow you," They want to
change Allâh's Words. Say: "You shall not follow us; thus Allâh has said
beforehand." Then they will say: "Nay, you envy us." Nay, but
they understand not except a little. (15)
