4:80 Whoever obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah[1]. But anyone who turns away, We have not sent you [O Prophet] as a keeper over them[2].

4:81 They say, “We obey you,” but as soon as they leave you, a group of them[1] conspires by night against what you say. Allah records all their plots, so turn away from them, and put your trust in Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a Trustee of Affairs.

4:82 Do they not then ponder on the Qur’an[1]? If it had been from anyone other than Allah, they would have surely found in it many discrepancies.

4:83 Whenever they hear any news of security or fear, they spread it[1]. If they referred it to the Messenger or to those in authority among them, those with sound judgment among them could know it. Were it not for Allah’s grace and mercy, you would all have followed Satan, except for a few.

4:84 So fight in the way of Allah [O Prophet]; you are accountable only for yourself. But urge the believers [to fight]; perhaps Allah will restrain the might of the disbelievers, for Allah is strongest in might and severe in punishment.

4:85 Whoever intercedes in a good cause will have a share in its reward, but whoever intercedes in an evil cause will have a share in its burden[1]. And Allah is ever Watchful over all things.

4:86 When you are given a greeting, respond with a better greeting or return the same[1]. Indeed, Allah is the Reckoner of all things.
