(Strain not thine eyes towards) covet not (that which We cause some wedded pairs among them) men from the Banu Qurayzah and the Banu'l-Nadir; it is also said that this refers to men from the Quraysh-because that with which We honoured you, prophethood, the Qur'an and Islam, is far greater than that which We have given them (to enjoy) in terms of wealth, (and be not grieved on their account) do not grieve for their destruction if they choose not to believe, (and lower thy wing (in tenderness) for the believers) be compassionate with them.
