Verse (5:49)

The analysis above refers to the 49th verse of chapter 5 (sūrat l-māidah):

Sahih International: And judge, [O Muúammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away – then know that Allah only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient.
