Verse (3:118)

The analysis above refers to the 118th verse of chapter 3 (sūrat āl ʿim'rān):

Sahih International: O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.
