Believers, do not be like those who distressed Moses and then Allah declared him quit of the ill they spoke about him; and he had a high standing with Allah. 69 O People who Believe! Fear Allah, and speak rightly. 70 That He may straighten your affairs for you and forgive your sins; and he who obeys God and His Prophet will be successful. 71 Verily, We did offer the trust [of reason and volition] to the heavens, and the earth, and the mountains: but they refused to bear it because they were afraid of it. Yet man took it up - for, verily, he has always been prone to be most wicked, most foolish. 72 So that Allah will torment the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the associators and the associatoresses and Allah will relent toward the believing men and the believing women; and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful 73
