وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ قُتِلُوا۟ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَ ٰتَۢاۚ بَلۡ أَحۡیَاۤءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ یُرۡزَقُونَ ١٦٩

ٱلَّذِینَ ٱسۡتَجَابُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَاۤ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡقَرۡحُۚ لِلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ مِنۡهُمۡ وَٱتَّقَوۡا۟ أَجۡرٌ عَظِیمٌ ١٧٢

Those whose faith only increased when people said, ‘Fear your enemy: they have amassed a great army against you,’ and who replied, ‘God is enough for us: He is the best protector,’

[Prophet], do not be grieved by those who are quick to disbelieve. They will not harm God in the least; it is God’s will that they will have no share in the Hereafter- a terrible torment awaits them
177
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱشۡتَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ بِٱلۡإِیمَـٰنِ لَن یَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَیۡءࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ١٧٧
