    After this it is ye, the same people, Who slay among yourselves, And banish a party of you From their homes; assist (Their enemies) against them, In guilt and rancour; And if they come to you As captives, ye ransom them, Though it was not lawful For you to banish them. Then is it only a part of the Book That ye believe in, And do ye reject the rest?

But when ye are clear Of the Sacred Precincts And of pilgrim garb, Ye may hunt And let not the hatred Of some people In (once) shutting you out Of the Sacred Mosque Lead you to transgression (And hostility on your part).
