2.101 - And when there came to them a messenger from Allah verifying that which is with them, a team from among those who were given the book ignored the book of Allah behind their backs as if they do not know. 2.102 - And they followed what the devils had recited before the kingdom of Sulaiman. And Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the devils have disbelieved; they teach the people magic and that which was sent down to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But they did not teach anyone until they had said: Indeed, we are only a trial; so do not disbelieve. And they (the people) learn from them the means to cause a separation between a person and his spouse; but they are not harming thereby anyone except with the permission of Allah. And they learn what harms them and does not benefit them. And they have certainly known that whoever bought it would have, in the hereafter, no share. And miserable is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew. 2.103 - And if they had believed and feared, then a reward from Allah would have been better; if they only knew. 2.104 - O you who have believed! Do not say (to the messenger), take care of us. And say, wait for us (to comprehend the message) and listen. And for the unbelievers is a painful torture. 2.105 - Neither those who have disbelieved from among the people of the book nor the polytheists wish that some good should be sent down to you from your Lord. And Allah selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allah is the Possessor of mighty grace. 2.106 - Whatever We abolish of any sign or cause it to be forgotten, We bring one that is better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah is over everything Capable? 2.107 - Do you not know that to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that for you there is other than Allah no guardian or helper? 2.108 - Or you want to question your messenger, as Musa was questioned before? And whoever exchanges belief for unbelief, indeed, he has lost the even path. 2.109 - Many among the people of the book wish that they could turn you back after your belief to disbelief, out of envy from themselves after the truth has become apparent to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah brings His command; indeed Allah is over everything Capable. 2.110 - And establish the prayer and give Zakah (Alms), and whatever good you put forward for yourselves, you will find it with Allah. Indeed, Allah is of what you do Seeing.
