(is the) Messenger of Allah
لَوۡ
If

he were to obey you
فِى
in
كَثِيرٍ
much
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡأَمۡرِ
the matter
لَعَنِتُّمۡ

has endeared
إِلَيۡكُمُ
to you

Those are the [rightly] guided.

the believers
ٱقۡتَتَلُواۡ

oppresses
إِحۡدَٮٰهُمَا
one of them
عَلَى
on

the other

until
تَفِىٓءَ
it returns
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أَمۡرِ
(the) command
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
(of) Allah
فَإِن
Then if
فَآءَتۡ
it returns
فَأَصۡلِحُواۡ
then make peace
بَيۡنَهُمَا
between them
بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ
with justice
وَأَقۡسِطُوٓاۡ‌ۖ
and act justly
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يُحِبُّ
loves
ٱلۡمُقۡسِطِينَ
those who act justly
٩
And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allāh. And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.
49:10
إِنَّمَا
Only
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
the believers
إِخۡوَةٌ
(are) brothers
فَأَصۡلِحُواۡ

between
أَخَوَيۡكُمۡ‌ۚ
your brothers

and fear Allah
ٱللَّهَ
and fear Allah
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تُرۡحَمُونَ
receive mercy

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name [i.e., mention] of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Nay, you would hate it
وَٱتَّقُواۡ
And fear Allah
ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ
And fear Allah

indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
تَوَّابٌ
(is) Oft-Returning
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
١٢
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.

The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allāh and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds1 of anything. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."
