And if We had ordered them (saying), "Kill yourselves (i.e.
the innnocent ones kill the guilty ones) or leave your homes," very few of
them would have done it; but if they had done what they were told, it would
have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith); (66) And indeed We should
then have bestowed upon them a great reward from Ourselves (67) And indeed We should
have guided them to a Straight Way (68) And whoso obeys Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allâh has bestowed His
Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqûn (those followers of the Prophets who were
first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As¬Siddiq
radhiallahu'anhu), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these
companions are! (69) Such is the Bounty from Allâh, and Allâh is Sufficient as
All¬Knower. (70) O you who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth
(on an expedition) in parties, or go forth all together. (71) There is certainly
among you he who would linger behind (from fighting in Allâh's Cause). If a
misfortune befalls you, he says, "Indeed Allâh has favoured me in that I
was not present among them." (72) But if a bounty (victory and booty) comes to
you from Allâh, he would surely say - as if there had never been ties of
affection between you and him - "Oh! I wish I had been with them; then I
would have achieved a great success ( a good share of
booty)." (73) Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the
Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allâh, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allâh,
and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. (74)
