Hypocrites don't benefit from Allah's tests

They say they believe in God and the Prophet, and have come to believe, yet a section of them turns back even after this; and these are not believers.

When they are called to God and His Prophet, that he may judge between them, a section of them turns away.

Had right been on their side they would have come to him submissively.

Is there a malady in their hearts, or they are deluded, or afraid that God and His Prophet would be unjust in dealing with them? Not so; they are themselves unjust.

The answer of the believers when they are called to God and His Apostle that he may judge between them, is: "We hear and obey." And they are the ones who will prosper.

Whoever obeys God and His Prophet, fears God and does his duty to Him, will surely find success.

They swear solemnly by God: "If you command us we shall go forth." Say: "Do not swear. What is wanted is obedience, as should be. God is certainly aware of what you do."

Say: "Obey God and obey the Apostle. If you turn away, then for him is his duty to fulfil, and for you the burden that you carry; yet if you obey him you will be rightly guided. The duty of the Messenger is to convey the message clearly.
