Those who believe , and have emigrated and struggled with their possessions and their selves in the way of God , and those who have given refuge and help -- those are friends one of another . And those who believe , but have not emigrated -- you have no duty of friendship towards them till they emigrate ; yet if they ask you for help , for religion 's sake , it is your duty to help them , except against a people between whom and you there is a compact ; and God sees the things you do .
