[9:100]
And the first to lead the way, of the Muhajirin
and the Ansar, and those who followed them in goodness - Allah is well pleased
with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He hath made ready for them
Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is
the supreme triumph.
[9:101]
And among those around you of the wandering
Arabs there are hypocrites, and among the townspeople of Al-Madinah (there are
some who) persist in hypocrisy whom thou (O Muhammad) knowest not. We, We know them, and We shall chastise them twice; then they
will be relegated to a painful doom.
[9:102]
And (there are) others who have acknowledged
their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may
be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.
[9:103]
Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst
purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! thy
prayer is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
[9:104]
Know they not that Allah is
He Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen and taketh the alms, and that
Allah is He Who is the Relenting, the Merciful.
[9:105]
And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your
actions, and (so will) His messenger and the believers, and ye will be brought
back to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what
ye used to do.
[9:106]
And (there are) others who await Allah’s decree,
whether He will punish them or will forgive them. Allah is Knower, Wise.
