True Believers98 are those who sincerely believe in Allah and His Messenger and who do not leave him without permission when they are with the Messenger for some common good;99 only those who ask your permission sincerely believe in Allah and His Messenger. Therefore, when they ask your permission for a private business,100 you may give permission to whomever you like,101 and ask Allah's forgiveness for such people.102 Allah is indeed Forgiving and Merciful. O Believers, do not consider the summoning by the Messenger like the summoning among you by one another.103 Allah knows well those of you who steal away, concealing themselves behind others.104 Let those who disobey the order of the Messenger beware lest they should be involved in some affliction,105 or are visited by a woeful scourge. Beware! whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He knows whatever you are doing. On the Day you shall return to Him, He will let you know what you have . done: He has full knowledge of everything.
