8:15O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve on the march, never turn your backs on them.

8:16Anyone who turns his back on them on that Day, except while maneuvering for battle, or to join another group, has incurred wrath from God, and his abode is Hell—what a miserable destination!

8:19If you desire a verdict, the verdict has come to you. And if you desist, it would be best for you. And if you return, We will return; and your troops, however numerous, will not benefit you. God is with the believers.

8:20O you who believe! Obey God and His Messenger, and do not turn away from him when you hear.

8:23Had God recognized any good in them, He would have made them hear; and had He made them hear, they would have turned away defiantly.

8:34Yet why should God not punish them, when they are turning others away from the Sacred Mosque, although they are not its custodians? Its rightful custodians are the pious; but most of them do not know.

8:40And if they turn away, know that God is your Protector. The Best Protector, and the Best Supporter.

8:48Satan made their deeds appear good to them, and said, “You cannot be defeated by any people today, and I am at your side.” But when the two armies came in sight of one another, he turned on his heels, and said, “I am innocent of you; I see what you do not see; I fear God; God is severe in punishment.”
