40. "Say, if your father and your sons and your brethren and your wives, and your kindred and wealth which ye have gained, and merchandise which ye fear may be unsold, and dwellings wherein ye may delight be dearer to you than God and His Apostle and (Jihádan) toiling in My cause, then wait until God shall Himself enter on His work; God guideth not the impious."
