An-Nisa 4:89 ودوا لو تكفرون كما كفروا فتكونون سواء فلا تتخذوا منهم اولياء حتى يهاجروا في سبيل الله فان تولوا فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث وجدتموهم ولا تتخذوا منهم وليا ولا نصيرا ٨٩
وَدُّواْ
لَوۡ
تَكۡفُرُونَ
كَمَا
كَفَرُواْ
فَتَكُونُونَ
سَوَآءٗۖ
فَلَا
تَتَّخِذُواْ
مِنۡهُمۡ
أَوۡلِيَآءَ
حَتَّىٰ
يُهَاجِرُواْ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِۚ
فَإِن
تَوَلَّوۡاْ
فَخُذُوهُمۡ
وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ
حَيۡثُ
وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡۖ
وَلَا
تَتَّخِذُواْ
مِنۡهُمۡ
وَلِيّٗا
وَلَا
نَصِيرًا
