Sura 9
Aya 12
12
وَإِن نَكَثوا أَيمانَهُم مِن بَعدِ عَهدِهِم وَطَعَنوا في دينِكُم فَقاتِلوا أَئِمَّةَ الكُفرِ ۙ إِنَّهُم لا أَيمانَ لَهُم لَعَلَّهُم يَنتَهونَ

(Muntakhab)

But should they infringe their oaths after they have pledged their vows to you, and assailed your religion with opprobrious or abusive language, then you must battle against the ring-leaders of bigotry whose professed system of faith is featured in idolatry and infidelity, for then they will have proved themselves of a faithless disposition, false to the vows. They may with such calculated punishment desist, for their own sake, from their hostile course of action.
