Sura Al-Fath from 10 to 15


10. Verily, those who give Bai‘ah ( pledge ) to you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) they are giving Bai‘ah ( pledge ) to Allâh. The Hand of Allâh is over their hands. Then whosoever breaks his pledge, breaks it only to his own harm; and whosoever fulfils what he has covenanted with Allâh, He will bestow on him a great reward.
11. Those of the bedouins who lagged behind will say to you: « Our possessions and our families occupied us, so ask forgiveness for us. » They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: « Who then has any power at all ( to intervene ) on your behalf with Allâh, if He intends you hurt or intends you benefit? Nay, but Allâh is Ever All- Aware of what you do.»
12. « Nay, but you thought that the Messenger ( ( saas ) ) and the believers would never return to their families, and that was made fair- seeming in your hearts, and you did think an evil thought and you became a useless people going for destruction. »
13. And whosoever does not believe in Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , then verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers a blazing Fire. [ 1 ]
14. And to Allâh belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He forgives whom He wills, and punishes whom He wills. And Allâh is Ever Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.
15. Those who lagged behind will say, when you set forth to take the spoils, « Allow us to follow you. » They want to change Allâh’s Words. Say: « You shall not follow us; thus Allâh has said beforehand. » Then they will say: « Nay, you envy us. » Nay, but they understand not except a little.
