1

When the waverers come to thee they say: “We bear witness that thou art the messenger of God.” But God knows that thou art His messenger, and God bears witness that the waverers are liars.

2

They have taken their oaths as a cover, then they turned away from the path of God — evil is what they did —

3

For it is that they believed, then denied! Then were their hearts sealed, and they understand not.

4

And when thou seest them, their forms please thee; and if they speak, thou listenest to their speech as if they were propped up pieces of dry wood. They think every blast is against them. They are the enemy; so beware thou of them. May God curse them! How are they deluded!

5

And when it is said to them: “Come, the messenger of God will ask forgiveness for you,” they turn aside their heads; and thou seest them turning away, waxing proud.

6

It is the same for them whether thou askest forgiveness for them or hast not asked forgiveness for them: God will never forgive them; God guides not the perfidious people.

7

Those are they who say: “Spend not on those with the messenger of God until they disband.” And to God belong the treasuries of the heavens and the earth; but the waverers understand not.

8

They say: “If we return to the city, the more honoured will drive therefrom the meaner.” But to God belong power and glory, and to His messenger, and to the believers; but the waverers know not.

9

O you who heed warning: let not your wealth or your children divert you from the remembrance of God; and whoso does that, it is they who are the losers.

10

And spend of what We have provided you before death comes to one among you and he says: “My Lord: hadst Thou but delayed me to a near term, that I might give charity and be among the righteous!”

11

But God delays no soul when its term comes; and God is aware of what you do.
