except those who are related to the people between whom and you is a treaty or who come to you with their hearts no longer having the will to fight you or to fight their own people had allah willed he would certainly have given them power over you so that they would have surely fought you then if they avoid you and do not wage war against you and make an offer of peace – then allah has not kept for you a way against them.
إلا الذين يصلون إلى قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثاق أو جاءوكم حصرت صدورهم أن يقاتلوكم أو يقاتلوا قومهم ولو شاء الله لسلطهم عليكم فلقاتلوكم فإن اعتزلوكم فلم يقاتلوكم وألقوا إليكم السلم فما جعل الله لكم عليهم سبيلا
