summary: 'The passage addresses believers after battle: God sends sleep as security
to some, exposes hidden thoughts, forgives those who turned back, warns against
unbelieving interpretations of death in travel or war, promises mercy and gathering
to God for those slain or dying in defense of religion, instructs Mohammed to
forgive and consult, urges trust in God, and states that defrauders will bring
their fraud on the day of resurrection when every soul is paid what it has gained.'
