وان احكم بينهم بما انزل الله ولا تتبع اهواءهم واحذرهم ان يفتنوك عن بعض ما انزل الله اليك فان تولوا فاعلم انما يريد الله ان يصيبهم ببعض ذنوبهم وان كثيرا من الناس لفاسقون

And this (He commands): Judge thou between them By what God hath revealed, And follow not their vain Desires, but beware of them Lest they beguile thee From any of that (teaching) Which God hath sent down To thee. And if they turn Away, be assured that For some of their crimes It is God's purpose to punish Them. And truly most men Are rebellious.
