And whether you die, or are killed, verily, unto Allâh you shall
be gathered. (158) And by the Mercy of Allâh, you dealt with them gently. And had
you been severe and harsh¬hearted, they would have broken away from about you;
so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allâh's) Forgiveness for them; and consult
them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in
Allâh, certainly, Allâh loves those who put their trust (in Him). (159) If Allâh helps you,
none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can
help you? And in Allâh (Alone) let believers put their trust. (160) It is not for any
Prophet to take illegally a part of booty (Ghulul)[], and whosoever deceives
his companions as regards the booty, he shall bring forth on the Day of
Resurrection that which he took (illegally). Then every person shall be paid in
full what he has earned, - and they shall not be dealt with unjustly. (161) Is then one who
follows (seeks) the good Pleasure of Allâh (by not taking illegally a part of
the booty) like the one who draws on himself the Wrath of Allâh (by taking a
part of the booty illegally - Ghulul)? - his abode is Hell, - and worst, indeed
is that destination! (162) They are in varying grades with Allâh, and Allâh is
All¬Seer of what they do. (163) Indeed Allâh conferred a great favour on the
believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among
themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Qur'ân), and purifying them
(from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the
Qur'ân) and Al¬Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW (i.e. his
legal ways, statements, acts of worship)], while before that they had been in
manifest error.[] (164) (What is the matter with you?) When a single disaster
smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say:
"From where does this come to us?" Say (to them), "It is from
yourselves (because of your evil deeds)." And Allâh has power over all
things. (165)
