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 کسی که، از میان اهل کتاب کسانی را که کافر شدند در نخستین جمع (از مدینه) بیرون راند، (حال آنکه) گمان نمی‌کردید که بیرون روند و خودشان همواره گمان داشتند که دژهایشان از (عذاب) خدا نگهبانشان است. پس خدا از جایی که هرگز گمان نمی‌کردند بر آنان درآمد و در دل‌هایشان بیم افکند، در حالی که خودشان به دست‌های خودشان و دست‌های مؤمنان خانه‌های خود را خراب می‌کنند. پس ای صاحب‌نظران! عبرت گیرید.
