2. It is He who expelled the disbelievers(of only one God) among the people of the Book 27 from their houses at the first exile. You did not think that they would leave. They thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah. Allah approached them in the way they had not imagined. He sowed fear in their minds. They destroyed their houses with their hands and with the hands of the believers, O people of knowledge learn a lesson.
3. And Allah would have punished them in this world had He not decreed their migration . In the hereafter, there is torment of hell for them.

(He divides thus ) in order that (the wealth) should not be circulated (only) between the wealthy among you 195. And whatever this messenger gave you you receive it. From whatever he forbade, you abstain (from it). Fear Allah. Allah is a severe punisher.
8. (It belongs) to the poor who did ‘hijrah’460 and were expelled from their houses and their properties. They expect bounty and satisfaction from Allah. (They) help Allah and His messenger. They are the truthful.
9. And (it belongs) to those who adopted the faith and their towns before them. They love those who do ‘hijra’460 and come to them.

We will not obey anybody ever in your matter. We will help you if a war is fought on you.” Allah gives witness to that they are indeed, liars.”
12. If they are expelled then they will never leave with them. They will not even help them if war is fought on them. And even if they should help them, they will surely run turning their backs. Then they will not be helped.
13. The fear about you in their minds is more than (the fear of) Allah. The reason is that they remain a people who do not understand.
14. They will not gather together to fight with you except from the fortified places or from behind the walls. The enmity between them is severe. You will think that they have gathered together. (But) their minds are scattered. The reason is that they are a people who do not understand.

17. The end of both of them had to remain in the hell forever. This is the punishment for the unjust.
