Matter, Affair

and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah
1

It is no concern at all of thee (Muhammad) 
whether He relent toward them or punish 
them; for they are evil doers
1 

Their cry was only that they said: Our Lord! 
Forgive us for our sins and wasted efforts, 
make our foothold sure, and give us victory 
over the disbelieving folk.
1 

They said: Have we any part in the cause? 
1

Say (O Muhammad): The cause belongeth wholly to Allah.
1

saying: Had we had any part in the cause we 
should not have been slain here.
1

So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them 
and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs.
1 

And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, 
come unto them, they noise it abroad,
1 

(the forfeit) to be brought as an offering to the Ka'bah;
or, for expiation, he shall feed poor persons, or the
equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the
evil consequences of his deed
1

Say: If I had that for which ye are impatient,
then would the case (ere this) have been
decided between me and you.
1

Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and
become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou
with them. Their case will go to Allah, who then
will tell them what they used to do
1

When Allah showed them unto thee (O Muhammad)
in thy dream as few in number, and if He had
shown them to thee as many, ye (Muslims)
would have faltered and would have quarrelled
over the affair. But Allah saved (you).
1

And when He made you (Muslims), when ye met (them),
see them with your eyes as few, and lessened you
in their eyes, (it was) that Allah might conclude
a thing that must be done. 
1

If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth
them, and if calamity befalleth thee, they say:
We took precaution, and they turn away well pleased
1

Recite unto them the story of Noah, when he told
his people: O my people! If my sojourn (here)
and my reminding you by Allah's revelations
are an offence unto you, in Allah have I put
my trust, so decide upon your course of action,
you and your partners. Let not your course of 
action be in doubt, for you. Then have at me,
give me no respite
