87. And if there is a group among you who has believed in what I have been sent with, and another group who has not believed, then be patient [92.1] until Allah judges between us, and He is the best of judges.
[92۔ 1] There were two purposes for these people sitting at the entrances to the city: first, wherever they found an opportunity, they would rob travelers and passersby; and second, they would prevent those who wanted to enter the city from going to Sayyiduna Shu‘ayb ؑ, misleading and threatening them, saying that this man is a deceiver and a fraud, do not listen to him nor fall for his tricks. They would also make hundreds of ignorant criticisms and accusations against his teachings and Shari‘ah, and would inflict various hardships on the few people who believed in Sayyiduna Shu‘ayb ؑ, trying to make them abandon their faith. Sayyiduna Shu‘ayb ؑ gently reminded these people of Allah’s favors upon them, then said that if a few people have believed, why do you trouble them? Whoever among us is lying, Allah Himself will deal with him—just be patient for a little while.
