In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
61. Among them are men who slander the Prophet and say, "He is an ear." Say, "He listens to what is best for you, he believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy to those of you who believe." But those who slander the Prophet will have a grievous penalty.
62. To you they swear by Allah in order to please you. But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and God's messenger if they are believers.
63. Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and God's messenger is the fire of hell, wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace.
64. The hypocrites are afraid lest a chapter be sent down about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock you! But verily Allah will bring to light all that you fear."
65. If you question them they declare, "We were only talking idly and in play." Say, "Was it at Allah, and God's Signs, and God's messenger that you were mocking?"
(The Repentance 9:61-65)
