[3:158]
What though ye be slain or die, when unto Allah
ye are gathered ?
[3:159]
It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast
lenient with them (O Muhammad), for if thou hadst been stern and fierce of
heart they would have dispersed from round about thee. So pardon them and ask
forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And
when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those who
put their trust (in Him).
[3:160]
If Allah is your helper none can overcome you,
and if He withdraw His help from you, who is there who can help you after Him ? In Allah let believers put their trust.
[3:161]
It is not for any prophet to embezzle. Whoso
embezzleth will bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Resurrection.
Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned; and they will not be
wronged.
[3:162]
Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as
one who hath earned condemnation from Allah, whose habitation is the Fire, a
hapless journey’s end ?
[3:163]
There are degrees (of grace and reprobation)
with Allah, and Allah is Seer of what they do.
[3:164]
Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers
by sending unto them a messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His
revelations, and causeth them to grow, and teacheth them the Scripture and
wisdom; although before (he came to them) they were in flagrant error.
[3:165]
And was it so, when a disaster smote you, though
ye had smitten (them with a disaster) twice (as great), that ye said: How is this ? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): It is from yourselves.
Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
