[2:105] Those disbelievers of the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, do not wish that any good should be revealed to you from your Lord, but God singles out for His mercy, whom He will; God is of bounty abounding.
The antipathy of the enemies towards the unwavering decency of the friends is unceasing and enduring. But the envious shall not prevail (lākin al-ḥusūda lā yasūd), nor will he obtain what he seeks (wa lā yaḥṣul lahu maqṣūd). The special qualities of mercy are sufficient for the friends, even if the enemies were to be abased and the flanks and borders of the lands of their rejoicing were to be destroyed.
