9:100 As for the first forerunners of the Emigrants[1] and the Helpers[2], and those who followed them in righteous deeds, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. That is the supreme triumph.

9:101 Among the Bedouins around you are some hypocrites, as are from the people of Madinah; they are obstinate in their hypocrisy[1]. You do not know them; We know them. We will punish them twice[2], and then they will be brought back to a great punishment[3].

9:102 And there are others who admitted their sins; they have mixed righteous deeds with others that were evil[1]. It is likely that Allah will turn to them in mercy, for Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

9:103 Take charity from their wealth [O Prophet] to cleanse and purify them, and pray for them. Your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

9:104 Do they not know that it is Allah Who accepts the repentance of His slaves and accepts their charities, and that it is Allah Who is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful?

9:105 And say, “Do as you will; Allah will see your deeds, and so will His Messenger and the believers, then you will be brought back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

9:106 And there are yet others who await Allah’s decision; either He will punish them or turn to them in mercy. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
