they swear by allah that they did not say it. but they certainly did utter the word of unfaith and renounced faith after their islam. they contemplated what they could not achieve and they were vindictive only because allah and his apostle had enriched them out of his grace. yet if they repent it will be better for them but if they turn away allah shall punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the hereafter and they shall not find on the earth any guardian or helper.
يحلفون بالله ما قالوا ولقد قالوا كلمة الكفر وكفروا بعد إسلامهم وهموا بما لم ينالوا وما نقموا إلا أن أغناهم الله ورسوله من فضله فإن يتوبوا يك خيرا لهم وإن يتولوا يعذبهم الله عذابا أليما في الدنيا والآخرة وما لهم في الأرض من ولي ولا نصير
