| 23. Among the believers are men who have been true to the covenant they had made with ALLAH. Some of them have fulfilled their vow, and there are others who wait, and they have not changed in the least. 24. That ALLAH may reward the truthful for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if HE so please, or turn to them in mercy. Verily, ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful. 25. And ALLAH turned back the disbelievers in their rage; they gained no good. And ALLAH sufficed the believers in their fight. ALLAH is Powerful, Mighty. 26. And HE brought those of the People of the Book who had aided them down from their fortresses, and cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you took captive. 27. And HE made you inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and also a land on which you have not yet set foot. And ALLAH has power over all things. 28. O Prophet ! say to thy wives, `If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, come then, I will provide for you and send you away in a handsome manner; 29. `But if you desire ALLAH and HIS Messenger and the Home of the Hereafter, then, truly, ALLAH has prepared for those of you, who do good, a great reward.' 30. O wives of the Prophet ! if any of you be guilty of manifestly dishonourable conduct, the punishment will be doubled for her. And that is easy for ALLAH. |
