Revealed in Madinah, Surah Al-Hashr (The Exile) chronicles the exile of the hostile Jewish tribe of Banu Nadir from Madinah due to their treachery. It outlines the rules for distributing state resources (Fay) and praises the selflessness of the Ansar (Helpers) who shared their homes with the Muhajirun (Emigrants). The chapter ends with a powerful depiction of the Quran's weight—stating that a mountain would crumble in awe if the Quran were sent down upon it—and lists the beautiful names of God.

Translation
It is He who evicted those who disbelieved among the People of the Book from their homes at the first mobilization. You did not think they would leave, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from God. But God came at them from where they never expected, and threw terror into their hearts. They wrecked their homes with their own hands, and by the hands of the believers. Therefore, take a lesson, O you who have insight

Translation
Whatever God restored to His Messenger from the inhabitants of the villages belongs to God, and to the Messenger, and to the relatives, and to the orphans, and to the poor, and to the wayfarer; so that it may not circulate solely between the wealthy among you. Whatever the Messenger gives you, accept it; and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it. And fear God. God is severe in punishment

Translation
And those who, before them, had settled in the homeland, and had accepted faith. They love those who emigrated to them, and find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them.

Have you not considered those who act hypocritically?
