How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allah and
with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at
al-Masjid al-Haram? So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright
toward them. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they
do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of
protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse
[compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.
And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion,
then fight the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths
[sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease.
Would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel
the Messenger, and they had begun [the attack upon] you the first time? Do
you fear them? But Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you
are [truly] believers.
Do you think that you will be left [as you are] while Allah has not yet
made evident those among you who strive [for His cause] and do not take
other than Allah, His Messenger and the believers as intimates? And Allah
is Acquainted with what you do.
