Command for obedience to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), caution against opposing him and explanation of the fruits of piety/devotion

O believers, obey God and His Messenger, and do not turn away from him when you hear (him speak);

And do not be like those who say: "We have heard," but do not hear.

The worst of creatures in the eyes of God are those who are deaf and dumb and devoid of sense.

If God had seen any good in them He would surely have made them hear. Now even if He makes them hear they will turn away (in obduracy).

O believers, respond to the call of God and His Prophet when he calls you to what will give you life (and preservation). Remember that God intervenes between man and his heart, and that you will be gathered before Him.

Beware of sedition, which does not affect the oppressors alone among you, and know that the punishment of God is severe.

Remember, when you were few and powerless in the land, afraid of despoliation at the hands of men. But then God sheltered and helped you to strength, and provided for you good things that you may perhaps be grateful.

O you who believe, do not be faithless to God and His Apostle, nor violate your trusts knowingly.

Know that your worldly possessions and your children are just a temptation, and that God has greater rewards with Him.

O believers, if you follow the path shown by God, He will give you a standard (of right and wrong), and overlook your sins, and forgive you. God is abounding in benevolence.
