Transliteration:( Wa kaifa takfuroona wa antum tutlaa 'alaikum Aayaatul laahi wa feekum Rasooluh; wa mai ya'tasim billaahi faqad hudiya ilaa Siraatim Mustaqeem )
223. By this is meant, Oh groups of the Companions, how can you resort to fighting amongst yourselves by listening to the non-believers? You have enjoyed the august companionship of the Holy prophet, you have listened to the Holy QUR'AAN from the receiver of the QUR'AAN and you have been protected from evil beliefs. From this we can understand that all those wars in the ranks of the Companions after the departure of the Holy Prophet were not based on personal considerations as was the case among the non-believers, but they were based on religious differences of opinion.Whoever regards their wars as personal is denying the truth of this verse.
224. So that they seek the protection of the Holy Prophet. Therefore the word Messenger has been mentioned first.
225. The Straight Path, which is based on sound beliefs should also be accompanied by good actions. In this verse living in a brotherly atmosphere is termed as The Straight Path.
