- Apabila sudah habis bulan-bulan Haram itu, maka bunuhlah orang-orang musyrikin itu dimana saja kamu jumpai mereka, dan tangkaplah mereka. Kepunglah mereka dan intailah ditempat pengintaian. Jika mereka bertaubat dan mendirikan sholat dan menunaikan zakat, maka berilah kebebasan kepada mereka untuk berjalan. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi maha Penyayang.
