THE CHAPTER OF CHEATING.
287
of gathering, that is the day of cheating?! but whoso believes in God and acts aright, He will cover for him his offences, and will bring him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye! that is the mighty bliss !
[10] But those who misbelieve and say our signs are lies, they are the fellows of the Fire, to dwell therein for aye! and evil shall the journey be!
No calamity befalls but by the permission of God: and whoso believes in God, He will guide his heart ; for God all things doth know!
So obey God and obey the Apostle 2: but if ye turn your backs-our Apostle has only his plain message to preach !
God, there is no god but He; and upon Him let the believers rely!
O ye who believe! verily, among your wives and children are foes of yours : so beware of them! But if ye pardon, and overlook it, and forgive,—verily, God is forgiving, compassionate!
[15] Your property and your children are but a trial; and God, with Him is mighty hire !
Then fear God as much as ye can! and hear, and obey, and expend in alms: it is better for yourselves. But whosoever is saved from his own covetousnessthese are the prosperous !
If ye lend to God a goodly loan, He will double it for you, and will forgive you ; for God is grateful, clement !
I.e. both the righteous and the wicked will disappoint each other by reversing their positions, the wicked being punished while the righteous are in bliss.
. This expression seems to indicate that this verse at least was revealed at Medînah.
