• 2:85 · Al-Baqarahيُرَدُّونَ they will be sent backThen, you are those [same ones who are] killing one another and evicting a party of your people from their homes, cooperating against them in sin and aggression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
• 2:109 · Al-Baqarahيَرُدُّونَكُم they could turn you backMany of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
• 2:217 · Al-Baqarahيَرُدُّوكُمْ they turn you awayThey ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein.

And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.

• 4:83 · An-Nisaرَدُّوهُ they (had) referred itAnd when there comes to them information about [public] security or fear, they spread it around.
