He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of the followers of the Book to go forth from their homes at the first banishment you did not think that they would go forth, while they were certain that their fortresses would defend them against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they did not expect, and cast terror into their hearts; they demolished their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers; therefore take a lesson, O you who have eyes!
かれこそは，啓典の民の中の不信心な者を，その住まいから最初に追い出し放逐された方である。あなたがたはかれらが退去するものとは考えなかった。またかれらにしても，その砦だけでアッラー（の攻撃）を防げると思っていた。だがアッラーはかれらの予期しなかった方面から襲い，かれらの心に怖気を投げ込み，それでムスリムたちと一緒になって，自分（自ら）の手で，かれらの住まいを破壊した。あなたがた見る目を持つ者よ，訓戒とするがいい。
