I will throw terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved. You may strike them above the necks, and you may strike even every finger." Footnote [8:13] This is what they have justly incurred by fighting GOD and His messenger. For those who fight against GOD and His messenger, GOD's retribution is severe. [8:14] This is to punish the disbelievers; they have incurred the retribution of Hell. [8:15] O you who believe, if you encounter the disbelievers who have mobilized against you, do not turn back and flee. [8:16] Anyone who turns back on that day, except to carry out a battle plan, or to join his group, has incurred wrath from GOD, and his abode is Hell; what a miserable destiny!
