ve not, and of the Jews: listeners for the sake of
falsehood, listeners on behalf of other folk who come not unto thee,
changing words from their context and saying: If this be given unto
you, receive it, but if this be not given unto you, then beware! He
whom Allah doometh unto sin, thou (by thine efforts) wilt avail him

He cleanse not their hearts. Theirs in the world will be ignominy, and
in the Hereafter an awful doom;

S: O Messenger! let not those grieve you who strive together in

Allah loveth the equitable.

therefore if they come to you, judge between them or turn aside from
them, and if you turn aside from them, they shall not harm you in any
way; and if you judge, judge between them with equity; surely Allah

Y: But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have (their own)
law before them?- therein is the (plain) command of Allah; yet even
after that, they would turn away. For they are not (really) People of
