3.161 . It is not for any Prophet to deceive ( mankind ) . Whoso deceiveth will bring his deceit with him on the Day of Resurrection . Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned ; and they will not be wronged .
3. 3.162 . Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as one who hath earned condemnation from Allah , whose habitation is the Fire , a hapless journey ' s end?
3. 3.163 . There are degrees ( of grace and reprobation ) with Allah , and Allah is Seer of what ye do .
3. 3.164 . Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers by sending unto them a messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His revelations , and causeth them to grow , and teacheth them the Scripture and wisdom ; although before ( he came to them ) they were in flagrant error .
3. 3.165 . And was it so , when a disaster smote you , though ye had smitten ( them with a disaster ) twice ( as great ) , that ye said : How is this? Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : It is from yourselves . Lo! Allah is Able to do all things .
3. 3.166 . That which befell you , on the day when the two armies met , was by permission of Allah ; that He might know the true believers ;
3. 3.167 . And that He might know the hypocrites , unto whom it was said : Come , fight in the way of Allah , or defend yourselves . They answered : If we knew aught of fighting we would follow you . On that day they were nearer disbelief than faith . They utter with their mouths a thing which is not in their hearts . Allah is best aware of what they hide .
3. 3.168 . Those who , while they sat at home , said of their brethren ( who were fighting for the cause of Allah ) : If they had been guided by us they would not have been slain . Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : Then avert death from yourselves if ye are truthful .
3. 3.169 . Think not of those , who are slain in the way of Allah , as dead . Nay , they are living . With their Lord they have provision .
3. 3.170 . Jubilant ( are they ) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty , rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind : that there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve .
