(Say) to Banu Asad, O Muhammad: (Would ye teach) would you inform Allah (Allah your religion) about whether you are sincere or insincere in your religion, (when Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth) when He knows what is in the hearts of all those who are in the heavens and the earth, (and Allah is Aware of all things) of the secrets of the dwellers of the heavens and the earth?
