` there is not any responsibility upon us for the gentile, and
they tell a lie against allah while they know (it)."

"...and among them is he who, if you entrust him with a dinar,
he will not return it to you unless you keep standing firmly upon him
(demanding it). this is because they say:
` there is not any responsibility upon us for the gentile, ..."
they devoured the wealth of people unlawfully and said allah was

"... and they tell a lie against allah while they know (it). "
