they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.
3:170
They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah: And with regard

nor have they (cause to) grieve.

They glory in the Grace and the bounty from Allah, and in the

wrong have a great reward; –
3:173
Men said to them: “A great army is gathering against you”:
And frightened them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They
said: “For us Allah sufficeth, and He is the best disposer of
affairs.”
3:174
And they returned with Grace and bounty from Allah: no harm
ever touched them: For they followed the good pleasure of
Allah: And Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded.

the least harm will they do to Allah: Allah’s plan is that He will
give them no portion in the Hereafter, but a severe punishment.

harm will they do to Allah, but they will have a grievous
punishment.

Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which ye are
now, until He separates what is evil from what is good nor will
He disclose to you the secrets of the Unseen. But He chooses
of His Messengers (For the purpose) whom He pleases. So
believe in Allah. And His messengers: And if ye believe and do
right, ye have a reward without measure.
