فان لم تفعلوا فاذنوا بحرب من الله ورسوله وان تبتم فلكم رءوس اموالكم لا تظلمون ولا تظلمون ٢٧٩
فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا۟ فَأْذَنُوا۟ بِحَرْبٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۖ وَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ ٢٧٩

If you do not, then beware of a war with Allah and His Messenger! But if you repent, you may retain your principal—neither inflicting nor suffering harm.

Readings:
فَأْذَنُوْا
fa-ʾdhanū
“take notice of war”
فَئَاذِنُوْا
fa-ʾādhinū
“announce war (to each other)”

Explanation:

The two readings (verb forms I and IV, respectively) amount to the same meaning: for the people who refuse to abandon usury to know collectively that they are facing war from God and His Messenger (ﷺ). The second reading makes this a matter they should announce to one another [Makki].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
