they long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve that ye may be upon a level . so choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of allah if they turn back then take them and kill them wherever ye find them and choose no friend nor helper from among them except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant or come unto you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. had allah willed he could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. so if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace allah alloweth you no way against them.
ودوا لو تكفرون كما كفروا فتكونون سواء فلا تتخذوا منهم أولياء حتى يهاجروا في سبيل الله فإن تولوا فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث وجدتموهم ولا تتخذوا منهم وليا ولا نصيرا 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
