“There has certainly been for you in them an excellent example for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day. But whoever turns away, then indeed Allah is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy. Perhaps Allah will bring about affection between you and those of them with whom you have been enemies. And Allah is Most Capable, and Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Allah does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have neither fought you because of your religion nor driven you from your homes. Indeed, Allah loves those who deal justly.” (6–8)
“Our Lord, do not make us a trial for those who disbelieve.” Al-Zajjaj said: Do not give them victory over us, lest they suppose that they are upon the truth.
﴿لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ (٦) عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (٧) لَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ (٨) ﴾
﴿رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا﴾ قَالَ الزَّجَّاجُ: لَا تُظْهِرْهُمْ عَلَيْنَا فَيَظُنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ
