وَإِمَّا
تَخَافَنَّ
مِن
قَوْمٍ
خِيَانَةً
فَانبِذْ
إِلَيْهِمْ
عَلَى
سَوَاءٍ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
لَا
يُحِبُّ
الْخَائِنِينَ

And if you fear treachery from a people, break off [the treaty] with them in a like manner. Indeed Allah does not like the treacherous.
— Ali Quli Qarai
If thou fearest treachery from any group, throw back (their covenant) to them, (so as to be) on equal terms: for Allah loveth not the treacherous.
