هدف اين بود كه خداوند مردان و زنان منافق و مردان و زنان مشرك را (از مؤمنان جدا سازد و آنان را) عذاب كند، و خدا رحمت خود را بر مردان و زنان باايمان بفرستد؛ خداوند همواره آمرزنده و رحيم است!
[It was] so that Allah may punish the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the men and women who associate others with Him and that Allah may accept repentance from the believing men and believing women. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
