unless it be such of them who seek refuge with a people who are joined with you by a covenant, or those who come to you because their hearts shrink from fighting either against you or against their own people. Had Allah so willed, He would certainly have given them power over you and they would have fought against you. If they leave you alone and do not fight against you and offer you peace,, then Allah does not permit you to harm them.
مگر كسانى كه با گروهى كه ميان شما و ميان آنان پيمانى است، پيوند داشته باشند، يا نزد شما بيايند در حالى كه سينه آنان از جنگيدن با شما يا جنگيدن با قوم خود، به تنگ آمده باشد. و اگر خدا مى‌خواست، قطعاً آنان را بر شما چيره مى‌كرد و حتماً با شما مى‌جنگيدند. پس اگر از شما كناره‌گيرى كردند و با شما نجنگيدند و با شما طرح صلح افكندند، [ديگر] خدا براى شما راهى [براى تجاوز] بر آنان قرار نداده است.
