And Allah has created from water every living creature: so of them is that which walks upon its belly, and of them is that which walks upon two feet, and of them is that which walks upon four; Allah creates what He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things (۴۵)

Certainly We have revealed clear communications, and Allah guides whom He pleases to the right way (۴۶)

And they say: We believe in Allah and in the messenger and we obey; then a party of them turn back after this, and these are not believers (۴۷)

And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger that he may judge between them, lo! a party of them turn aside (۴۸)

And if the truth be on their side, they come to him quickly, obedient (۴۹)

Is there in their hearts a disease, or are they in doubt, or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will act wrongfully towards them? Nay! they themselves are the unjust (۵۰)

The response of the believers, when they are invited to Allah and His Messenger that he may judge between them, is only to say: We hear and we obey; and these it is that are the successful (۵۱)

And he who obeys Allah and His Messenger, and fears Allah, and is careful of (his duty to) Him, these it is that are the achievers (۵۲)

And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths that if you command them they would certainly go forth. Say: Swear not; reasonable obedience (is desired); surely Allah is aware of what you do (۵۳)

Say: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn back, then on him rests that which is imposed on him and on you rests that which is imposed on you; and if you obey him, you are on the right way; and nothing rests on the Messenger but clear delivering (of the message) (۵۴)
