Ayah: 94

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُواْ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَنۡ أَلۡقَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَٰمَ لَسۡتَ مُؤۡمِنٗا تَبۡتَغُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَةٞۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبۡلُ فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٗا

94. O believers, when you go forth 'to fight' for the Cause of Allāh, then make proper investigation42, and do not say to any one who offers you peace: “You are not a believer,” seeking the goods of this world’s life, for with Allāh there are abundant booty. You too were such before, then Allāh conferred His Favor 'Guidance' on you. So make investigation. Indeed, Allāh is ever All-Aware of what you do.

42. Before you label anyone as a disbeliever.
