O you who believe! If you obey those who disbelieve, they will
send you back on your heels, and you will turn back (from Faith) as losers.[] (149) Nay, Allâh is your Maulâ (Patron, Lord, Helper and
Protector), and He is the Best of helpers. (150) We shall cast terror
into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship
with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire
and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong¬doers). (151) And Allâh did indeed
fulfil His Promise to you when you were killing them (your enemy) with His
Permission; until (the moment) you lost your courage and fell to disputing
about the order, and disobeyed after He showed you (of the booty) which you
love. Among you are some that desire this world and some that desire the
Hereafter. Then He made you flee from them (your enemy), that He might test
you. But surely, He forgave you, and Allâh is Most
Gracious to the believers. (152) (And remember) when you ran away (dreadfully)
without even casting a side glance at anyone, and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)
was in your rear calling you back. There did Allâh give you one distress after
another by way of requital to teach you not to grieve for that which had
escaped you, nor for that which had befallen you. And Allâh is Well¬Aware of
all that you do. (153)
