It is He who drove the disbelievers among the followers of the Bible out of their homes (in the Arabian Peninsula) as the first time exiles. You did not think that they would leave their homes and they thought that their fortresses would save them from God. The decree of God came upon them in a way that even they did not expect. He caused such terror to enter their hearts that they started to destroy their own homes by their own hands and by those of the believers. People of vision, learn from this a lesson.
او است آنکه برون آورد آنان را که کفر ورزیدند از اهل کتاب از خانه‌های خویش در آغاز گردآوردن گمان نمی‌کردید که برون روند و می‌پنداشتند که بازدارنده است آنان را دژهای ایشان از خدا پس بیامدشان خدا از جائی که نمی‌پنداشتند و افکند در دلهای ایشان هراس را ویران می‌کردند خانه‌های خود را با دستهای خود و دستهای مؤمنان پس عبرت گیرید ای دارندگان خردها (یا دیدگان)
