so when you meet those who disbelieve smite necks until you have fully defeated them then tighten their bonds. thereafter either for generosity or ransom until the war lays down its burden. thus and had allah so willed he could have taken vengeance against thembut so as to test with one another. but those who are killed in the way of allah he will never let their deeds be lost.
فإذا لقيتم الذين كفروا فضرب الرقاب حتى إذا أثخنتموهم فشدوا الوثاق فإما منا بعد وإما فداء حتى تضع الحرب أوزارها ذلك ولو يشاء الله لانتصر منهم ولكن ليبلو بعضكم ببعض والذين قتلوا في سبيل الله فلن يضل أعمالهم
