إِنَّ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
وَهَاجَرُوا
وَجَاهَدُوا
بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ
وَأَنفُسِهِمْ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
اللَّهِ
وَالَّذِينَ
آوَوا
وَّنَصَرُوا
أُولَئِكَ
بَعْضُهُمْ
أَوْلِيَاءُ
بَعْضٍ
وَالَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
وَلَمْ
يُهَاجِرُوا
مَا
لَكُم
مِّن
وَلَايَتِهِم
مِّن
شَيْءٍ
حَتَّى
يُهَاجِرُوا
وَإِنِ
اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ
فِي
الدِّينِ
فَعَلَيْكُمُ
النَّصْرُ
إِلَّا
عَلَى
قَوْمٍ
بَيْنَكُمْ
وَبَيْنَهُم
مِّيثَاقٌ
وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا
تَعْمَلُونَ
بَصِيرٌ

The believers who left their homes and strove for the cause of God, through their property and in person and those who gave refuge to them and helped them will be each other's guardians. The believers who did not leave their homes are not your guardians until they too leave their homes. If they ask you for help in a religious cause, you must help them against their enemies unless their enemies have a peace treaty with you. God is Well Aware of what you do.
