P. 191

There you are, loving them when they do not love you, even
            though you believe in the whole of the Book. When they meet
            you, they say, 'We believe.' But when they leave they bite their
            fingers out of rage against you. Say, 'Die in your rage.' Allah knows
            what your hearts contain. (Qur'an, 3:119)

            THEY FEEL HATRED AND RAGE,
            ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE MESSENGERS
            If they argue with you, say, 'I have submitted myself completely
            to Allah, and so have all who follow me.' Say to those given the
            Book and those who have no Book, 'Have you become Muslim?'
            If they become Muslim, they have been guided. If they turn away,
            you are only responsible for transmission. Allah sees His servants.
            (Qur'an, 3:20)
            If they do argue with you, say: 'Allah knows best what you are
            doing.' (Qur'an, 22:68)
            Will you not fight a people who have broken their oaths and
            resolved to expel the Messenger, and who initiated hostilities
            against you in the first place? Is it them you fear? Allah has more
            right to your fear if you are believers. (Qur'an, 9:13)

            OBEDIENCE GIVES OFFENCE
            TO THE HYPOCRITES
            When they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger, so that he
            can judge between them, a group of them immediately turn away.
            (Qur'an, 24:48)

            THEY WANT THE BELIEVERS
            TO BE DISBANDED
            They are the people who say, 'Do not spend on those who are with
            the Messenger of Allah, so that they may go away.' The treasuries
            of the heavens and earth belong to Allah. But the hypocrites do not
            understand this. (Qur'an, 63:7)
