[33:23]
Of the believers are men who are true to that
which they covenanted with Allah. Some of them have paid their vow by death (in
battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the
least;
[33:24]
That Allah may reward the true men for their
truth, and punish the hypocrites if He will, or relent toward them (if He
will). Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[33:25]
And Allah repulsed the disbelievers in their
wrath; they gained no good. Allah averted their attack from the believers. Allah is ever Strong, Mighty.
[33:26]
And He brought those of the People of the
Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into
their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some.
[33:27]
And He caused you to inherit their land and
their houses and their wealth, and land ye have not trodden. Allah is ever Able to do all things.
[33:28]
O Prophet! Say unto thy wives: If ye desire the
world’s life and its adornment, come! I will content you and will release you
with a fair release.
[33:29]
But if ye desire Allah and His messenger and the
abode of the Hereafter, then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good among you an
immense reward.
[33:30]
O ye wives of the Prophet! Whosoever of you
committeth manifest lewdness, the punishment for her will be doubled, and that
is easy for Allah.
