9.61 . And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say : He is only a hearer . Say : A hearer of good for you , who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers , and a mercy for such of you as believe . Those who vex the messenger of Allah , for them there is a painful doom .
9. 9.62 . They swear by Allah to you ( Muslims ) to please you , but Allah , with His messenger , hath more right that they should please Him if they are believers .
9. 9.63 . Know they not that whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger , his portion verily is hell , to abide therein? That is the extreme abasement .
9. 9.64 . The hypocrites fear lest a surah should be revealed concerning them , proclaiming what is in their hearts . Say : Scoff ( your fill ) ! Lo! Allah is disclosing what ye fear .
9. 9.65 . And if thou ask them ( O Muhammad ) they will say : We did but talk and jest . Say : was it at Allah and His revelations and His Messenger that ye did scoff?
9. 9.66 . Make no excuse . Ye have disbelieved after your ( confession of ) belief . If We forgive a party of you , a party of you We shall punish because they have been guilty .
9. 9.67 . The hypocrites , both men and women , proceed one from another . They enjoin the wrong , and they forbid the right , and they withhold their hands ( from spending for the cause of Allah ) . They forget Allah , so He hath forgotten them . Lo! the hypocrites , they are the transgressors .
9. 9.68 . Allah promiseth the hypocrites , both men and women , and the disbelievers fire of hell for their abode . It will suffice them . Allah curseth them , and theirs is lasting torment .
9. 9.69 . Even as those before you were mightier than you in strength , and more affluent than you in wealth and children . They enjoyed their lot awhile , so ye enjoy your lot awhile even as those before you did enjoy their lot awhile . And ye prate even as they prated . Such are they whose works have perished in the world and the Hereafter . Such are they who are the losers .
9. 9.70 . Hath not the fame of those before them reached them the folk of Noah , Aad , Thamud , the folk of Abraham , the dwellers of Midian and the disasters ( which befell them ) ? Their messengers ( from Allah ) came unto them with proofs ( of Allah ' s sovereignty ) . So Allah surely wronged them not , but they did wrong themselves .
