And when Allah revealed His glad tidings to the believers that He will bestow His favour upon them, the hypocrites asked: �and what do we get, O Messenger of Allah?� Allah said: (Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women) it is also said that this means: Adam accepted the trust so that Allah punishes the hypocrites among men and women, (and idolatrous men and idolatrous women) because they rejected the trust, since they were in the loins of Adam when he accepted this trust. (But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing women) who are true in their faith in relation to any shortcomings regarding the bearing of this trust, (and Allah is Forgiving) He forgives whoever repents from amongst them, (Merciful) towards the believers'.
