________________ LIX, 7-11. THE CHAPTER OF THE EMIGRATION. 275 What God gave as spoils to His Apostle of the people of the cities is God's, and the Apostle's, and for kinsfolk, orphans, and the poor, and the wayfarer, so that it should not be circulated amongst the rich men of you. And what the Apostle gives you, take; and what he forbids you, desist from ; and fear God, verily, God is keen to punish! And (it is) for the poor who fled', who were driven forth from their houses and their wealth, who crave grace from God and His goodwill, and help God and the Apostle ; they are the truthful. And those who were settled in the abode and the faith before them, love those who fled to them?; and they do not find in their breasts a need of what has been given to them; preferring them to themselves, even though there be poverty amongst them; and whoso is preserved from his own coveteousness, these are the prosperous ! [10] And those who came after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brethren who were beforehand with us in the faith, and place not in our hearts ill-will towards those who believe-our Lord ! verily, thou art kind, compassionate ! Dost thou not look on those who were hypocritical, saying to their brethren who misbelieved amongst the people of the Book“, 'If ye be driven forth we will go forth with you ; and we will never obey any one concerning you; and if ye be fought The poorer Muhâgerîn were allowed to participate in the spoil, but not the Ansârs. 2 The Ansârs at Medînah. | 8 The Muhagerận. 4 The Jews.
