یَٓا اَیُّهَا الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فٖی سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِ فَتَبَیَّنُوا وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ اَلْقٰٓى اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًاۚ تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاؗ فَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثٖیرَةٌؕ كَذٰلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْكُمْ فَتَبَیَّنُواؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبٖیرًا

Translations
O you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of Allah, investigate; and do not say to one who gives you [a greeting of] peace "You are not a believer," aspiring for the goods of worldly life; for with Allah are many acquisitions. You [yourselves] were like that before; then Allah conferred His favor upon you, so investigate. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted
Saheeh International
O ye who believe! When ye go forth (to fight) in the way of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offereth you peace: "Thou art not a believer," seeking the chance profits of this life (so that ye may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils. Even thus (as he now is) were ye before; but Allah hath since then been gracious unto you. Therefore take care to discriminate. Allah is ever Informed of what ye do
