O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allāh will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, strong against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allāh and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allāh; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
O you who believe, whoever of you apostatises (read either yartadid, with separation [of the two daal letters], or yartadd, with assimilation [of one of the daal letters with the other]), turns back, from his religion, to disbelief - this is a notification of what God knew would happen, for some of them apostatised upon the death of the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him - God will assuredly bring, in their place, a people whom He loves and who love Him: the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him said, 'They are people like him', and he pointed to Aboo Moosaa al-Ash'aree, as reported by al-Haakim [al-Naysaabooree] in his Saheeh; humble, sympathetic, towards believers, stern, severe, towards disbelievers, struggling in the way of God, and fearing not the reproach of any reproacher, therein, in the way that the hypocrites fear the reproach of the disbelievers. That, description mentioned, is God's bounty; He gives it to whom He will; and God is Embracing, of abundant bounty, Knowing, of those who deserve it.
