[8:70]
O Prophet! Say unto those captives who are in
your hands: If Allah knoweth any good in your hearts He will give you better
than that which hath been taken from you, and will forgive you. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[8:71]
And if they would betray thee, they betrayed
Allah before, and He gave (thee) power over them. Allah is Knower, Wise.
[8:72]
Lo! those who believed
and left their homes and strove with their wealth and their lives for the cause
of Allah, and those who took them in and helped them: these are protecting friends
one of another. And those who believed but did not leave their homes, ye have
no duty to protect them till they leave their homes; but if they seek help from
you in the matter of religion then it is your duty to help (them) except
against a folk between whom and you there is a treaty. Allah is Seer of what ye
do.
[8:73]
And those who disbelieve are protectors one of
another - If ye do not so, there will be confusion in the land, and great
corruption.
[8:74]
Those who believed and left their homes and
strove for the cause of Allah, and those who took them in and helped them -
these are the believers in truth. For them is pardon, and bountiful provision.
[8:75]
And those who afterwards believed and left their
homes and strove along with you, they are of you; and those who are akin are
nearer one to another in the ordinance of Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower of all
things.
