Footnotes
1 - Referring here to those who commit adultery or fornication.
If (la-in, the laam is for oaths) the hypocrites do not desist, from their hypocrisy, and likewise those in whose hearts is a sickness, [in their urge] to fornicate, as well as the scaremongers in the city, who alarm the believers by saying [to them things like], 'Your enemy is here and your raiding parties have been massacred!', or [they say to them], 'They have been defeated!'. Assuredly We will urge you [to take action] against them, We will give you sway over them, then they will not be your neighbours, they will not dwell near you, in it except for a little [while], after which they will depart.
