[49:5]
And if they had had patience till thou camest
forth unto them, it had been better for them. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[49:6]
O ye who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings,
verify it, lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what ye
did.
[49:7]
And know that the messenger of Allah is among
you. If he were to obey you in much of the government, ye would surely be in
trouble; but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in
your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto
you. Such are they who are the rightly guided.
[49:8]
(It is) a bounty and a grace from Allah; and
Allah is Knower, Wise.
[49:9]
And if two parties of believers fall to
fighting, then make peace between them. And if one
party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it
return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them
justly, and act equitably. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.
[49:10]
The believers are naught else than brothers.
Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that
haply ye may obtain mercy.
[49:11]
O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk
who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be
better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by
nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth not in
repentance, such are evil-doers.
