Sura 5 Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread), ayah 13

  1. فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً ۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ ۙ وَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ ۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَىٰ خَائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْهُمْ ۖ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Translation by words

    فَبِمَا
    So for
    نَقْضِهِم
    their breaking
    مِّيثَٰقَهُمْ
    (of) their covenant
    لَعَنَّٰهُمْ
    We cursed them
    وَجَعَلْنَا
    and We made
    قُلُوبَهُمْ
    their hearts
    قَٰسِيَةً
    hard.
    يُحَرِّفُونَ
    They distort
    ٱلْكَلِمَ
    the words
    عَن
    from
    مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ
    their places,
    وَنَسُوا۟
    and forgot
    حَظًّا
    a part
    مِّمَّا
    of what
    ذُكِّرُوا۟
    they were reminded
    بِهِۦ
    of [it].
    وَلَا
    And not
    تَزَالُ
    will you cease
    تَطَّلِعُ
    to discover
    عَلَىٰ
    of
    خَآئِنَةٍ
    treachery
    مِّنْهُمْ
    from them
    إِلَّا
    except
    قَلِيلًا
    a few
    مِّنْهُمْ
    of them.
    فَٱعْفُ
    But forgive
    عَنْهُمْ
    them
    وَٱصْفَحْ
    and overlook.
    إِنَّ
    Indeed,
    ٱللَّهَ
    Allah
    يُحِبُّ
    loves
    ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
    the good-doers.

    So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard. They distort words from their (proper) usages and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook (their misdeeds). Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.

    5:13
