[59:4]
That is because they were opposed to Allah and
His messenger; and whoso is opposed to Allah, (for him) verily Allah is stern
in reprisal.
[59:5]
Whatsoever palm-trees ye cut down or left
standing on their roots, it was by Allah’s leave, in order that He might
confound the evil-livers.
[59:6]
And that which Allah gave as spoil unto His
messenger from them, ye urged not any horse or riding-camel for the sake
thereof, but Allah giveth His messenger lordship over whom He will. Allah is
Able to do all things.
[59:7]
That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His
messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger
and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it
become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger
giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep
your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.
[59:8]
And (it is) for the poor fugitives who have been
driven out from their homes and their belongings, who seek bounty from Allah
and help Allah and His messenger. They are the loyal.
[59:9]
Those who entered the city and the faith before
them love those who flee unto them for refuge, and find in their breasts no
need for that which hath been given them, but prefer (the fugitives) above
themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is saved from his own avarice - such are they who are successful.
