And when it is said to
them: "Come, so that the Messenger of Allâh may ask forgiveness from Allâh
for you", they twist their heads, and you would see them turning away
their faces in pride. (5) It is equal to them whether you (Muhammad SAW) ask
forgiveness or ask not forgiveness for them. Verily, Allâh guides not the
people who are the Fâsiqîn (the rebellious, the disobedient to Allâh)[] (6) They are the ones who say: "Spend not on those who
are with Allâh's Messenger, until they desert him." And to Allâh belong
the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites comprehend not.
(7) They (hyprocrites)
say: "If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honourable ('Abdûllah
bin Ubai bin Salul, the chief of hyprocrites at Al¬Madinah) will expel
therefrom the meaner (i.e. Allâh's Messenger SAW)." But honour, power and
glory belong to Allâh, and to His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and to the
believers, but the hypocrites know not. (8) O you who believe! Let not your
properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allâh. And
whosoever does that, then they are the losers. (9) And spend (in
charity) of that with which We have provided you,
before death comes to one of you and he says: "My Lord! If only You would give
me respite for a little while (i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should
give Sadaqah (i.e. Zakât) of my wealth[] , and be
among the righteous [i.e. perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)] and other good
deeds. (10) And Allâh grants respite to none when his appointed time (death)
comes. And Allâh is All-Aware of what you do. (11)
