036.045 Y:  When they are told, “Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy,” (they turn back).

P:  And when it is said unto them:  Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe:  Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed?  Ye are in naught else than error manifest.

S:  And when it is said to them:  Spend out of what Allah has given you, those who disbelieve say to those who believe:  Shall we feed him whom, if Allah please, He could feed?  You are in naught but clear error.

036.050 Y:  No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people!

P:  Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk.
