It is He who drove those among the people of the Book who refused to believe, from their homes for the first confrontation. You did not think that they would go away, and they imagined that their forts would protect them against God. But God came upon them from where they did not suspect, and filled their hearts with terror, so that they destroyed their homes with their own hands (or were destroyed) by the hands of believers. So take heed, O men of sight!
اوست آن كه كسانى از اهل كتاب- جهودان بنى النضير- را كه كفر ورزيدند در نخستين بيرون‌راندن دسته‌جمعى از خانه‌شان بيرون راند. شما گمان نداشتيد كه [به اين آسانى‌] بيرون روند و خود پنداشتند كه باروهاشان بازدارنده آنها از [فرمان‌] خداست، پس [فرمان‌] خداى از آنجا كه گمان نمى‌بردند بديشان آمد- گرفتارشان كرد- و در دلهاشان بيم افكند، خانه‌هاى خويش را به دستهاى خودشان و دستهاى مؤمنان ويران مى‌كردند، پس اى خداوندان بينش، عبرت گيريد.
