Whatever booty from them Allah has given to His Messenger—and
            you spurred on neither horse nor camel in its acquisition, but
            Allah gives power to His Messengers over anyone He wills, Allah
            has power over all things. (Qur'an, 59:6)
            Say: 'What do you await for us except for one of the two best
            things? But what we await for you is for  Allah to inflict a
            punishment on you either directly from Himself or at our hands.
            So wait, we are waiting with you!' (Qur'an, 9:52)

            THEY FIGHT THOSE
            WHO ACT HYPOCRITICALLY
            You who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to
            you and let them find you implacable. Know that Allah is with
            those who guard against evil. (Qur'an, 9:123)
            O Prophet, strive against the unbelievers and hypocrites and be
            harsh with them. Their shelter will be Hell. What an evil
            destination! (Qur'an, 9:73)

            THEY DO NOT ALLOW THOSE WHO ACT
            HYPOCRITICALLY TO STAY AMONGST THEM
            When you go out to get the booty, those who remained behind
            will say, 'Allow us to follow you,' desiring to alter Allah's words.
            Say: 'You may not follow us. That is what Allah said before.' They
            will say, 'It is only because you envy us.' No indeed! How little
            they have understood! (Qur'an, 48:15)
            They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them, so that
            you leave them alone. Leave them alone, then! They are filth. Their
            shelter will be Hell as repayment for what they did. (Qur'an, 9:95)
            If Allah returns you to a group of them, and they ask you for
            permission to go out, say, 'You will never go out with me, nor will
            you ever fight an enemy with me. You were happy to stay behind
            the first time, so stay behind with those who are left behind.'
            (Qur'an, 9:83)
