[9:73]
O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and
the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless
journey’s end.
[9:74]
They swear by Allah that they said nothing
(wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their
Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and
they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His
bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah
will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they
have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.
[9:75]
And of them is he who made a covenant with Allah
(saying): If He give us of His bounty we will give
alms and become of the righteous.
[9:76]
Yet when He gave them of His bounty, they
hoarded it and turned away, averse;
[9:77]
So He hath made the consequence (to be)
hypocrisy in their hearts until the day when they shall meet Him, because they
broke their word to Allah that they promised Him, and because they lied.
[9:78]
Know they not that Allah knoweth both their
secret and the thought that they confide, and that Allah is the Knower of
Things Hidden ?
[9:79]
Those who point at such of the believers as give
the alms willingly and such as can find naught to give but their endeavours,
and deride them - Allah (Himself) derideth them. Theirs will be a painful doom.
