33:23 Among the believers there are men who have been true to their pledge to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge[1], and others are still waiting[2], and they have not changed in the least[3].

33:24 [It all happened] so that Allah may reward the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites if He wills, or accept their repentance. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

33:25 Allah has repelled the disbelievers in their rage without gaining any good. And Allah spared the believers from fighting, and Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty.

33:26 And He brought down those of the People of the Book[1] who supported them from their fortresses, and cast horror into their hearts: you killed some and took others as captives.

33:27 He also made you inherit their land, their homes and their wealth, and a land on which you have not yet set foot[1]. And Allah is Most Capable of all things.

33:28 O Prophet, tell your wives, “If you seek the life of this world and its embellishments, then come, I will give you provision and release you graciously.

33:29 But if you seek Allah and His Messenger and the Final Abode, then Allah has prepared for those who do good among you a great reward.”

33:30 O wives of the Prophet, if anyone from among you were to commit a clear shameful act, the punishment would be doubled for her. That is easy for Allah.
