109

Many of the People of the Scripture long that (law, '[if only] that', represents [the import of] the verbal noun) they might make you disbelievers, after you have believed, from the envy (hasadan is the object denoting reason), being, of their own souls, that is to say, their wicked souls have prompted them to this [attitude]; after the truth, with regard to the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , has become clear to them, in the Torah; yet pardon, leave them be, and be forgiving, stay away, and make no encroachments against them, till Allahu ta’ālā brings His command, concerning fighting them; truly Allahu ta’ālā has power over all things.
