If the Hypocrites, and the men of tainted heart, and the stirrers of sedition in Medina desist not, we will surely stir thee up against them. Then shall they not be suffered to dwell near thee therein, but a little while:
Cursed wherever they are found; they shall be seized and slain with slaughter!
Such hath been the way of God with those who lived before them; and no change canst thou find in the way of God.
Men will ask thee of "the Hour." SAY: The knowledge of it is with God alone: and who can tell thee whether haply the Hour be not nigh at hand?
Verily, God hath cursed the Infidels, and hath got ready for them the flame:
For aye shall they abide therein; none to befriend them, no helper shall they find!
On the day when their faces shall be rolled in the fire, they shall cry: "Oh! would that we had obeyed God, and obeyed the Apostle!"
And they shall say: "Oh our Lord! indeed we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the way of God-
O our Lord! give them a double chastisement, and curse them with a heavy curse."
O Believers! be not like those who affronted Moses.26 But God cleared him from what they said of him, and of God was he highly esteemed.
