وَأَنِ
احْكُم
بَيْنَهُم
بِمَا
أَنزَلَ
اللَّهُ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعْ
أَهْوَاءَهُمْ
وَاحْذَرْهُمْ
أَن
يَفْتِنُوكَ
عَن
بَعْضِ
مَا
أَنزَلَ
اللَّهُ
إِلَيْكَ
فَإِن
تَوَلَّوْا
فَاعْلَمْ
أَنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ
اللَّهُ
أَن
يُصِيبَهُم
بِبَعْضِ
ذُنُوبِهِمْ
وَإِنَّ
كَثِيرًا
مِّنَ
النَّاسِ
لَفَاسِقُونَ

And this (He commands): Judge thou between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they beguile thee from any of that (teaching) which Allah hath sent down to thee. And if they turn away, be assured that for some of their crime it is Allah's purpose to punish them. And truly most men are rebellious.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Judge between them by what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their desires. Beware of them lest they should beguile you from part of what Allah has sent down to you. But if they turn their backs [on you], then know that Allah desires to punish them for some of their sins, and indeed many of the people are transgressors.
