wa maa ta akhkhara wa yutimma ni’matahoo ‘alaika wa yahdiyaka siraatan mustaqeema [2]
3. And [that] Allah may aid you
with a mighty victory.
4. It is He who sent down
Wa yansurakal laahu nasran ‘azeezaa [3] Huwal lazeee anzalas sakeenata fee quloobil- tranquillity into the hearts of the

soldiers of the heavens and the

Innaaa arsalnaaka shaahi danw wa mubashshiranw wa nazeera [8] Litu minoo billaahi wa Rasoolihee
a witness and a bringer of good
tidings and a warner

in Allah and His Messenger wa tu’azziroohu watuwaqqiroohu watusabbi hoohu bukratanw wa aseelaa [9]
and honor him and respect the
Prophet and exalt Allah morning

allegiance to you, [O Muhammad]
- they are actually pledging
allegiance to Allah. The hand of aydeehim; faman nakasa fainnamaa yankusu ‘alaa nafsihee wa man awfaa
Allah is over their hands. So he
who breaks his word only breaks
it to the detriment of himself. And

promised Allah - He will give him
a great reward.
11. Those who remained behind lakal mukhal lafoona minal-A’raabi shaighalatnaaa amwaalunaa wa ahloonaa

of the bedouins will say to you,

"Our properties and our families
occupied us, so ask forgiveness
fastaghfir lanaa; yaqooloona bi alsinatihim maa laisa fee quloobihim; qul
for us." They say with their
tongues what is not within their
hearts. Say, "Then who could
prevent Allah at all if He intended famany yamliku lakum minal laahi shai’an in araada bikum darran aw araada bikum
for you harm or intended for you
benefit? Rather, ever is Allah, with
what you do, Acquainted.
naf’aa; bal kaanal laahu bimaa ta’maloona Khabeeraa [11] Bal zanantum al lany-
12. But you thought that the
Messenger and the believers
would never return to their
families, ever, and that was made yanqalibar Rasoolu walmu’minoona ilaaa ahleehim abadanw wa zuyyina zaalika fee
pleasing in your hearts. And you
assumed an assumption of evil
and became a people ruined."
quloobikum wa zanantum zannnas saw’i wa kuntum qawmam booraa [12] Wa mal lam yu’mim-
13. And whoever has not believed
in Allah and His Messenger - then
indeed, We have prepared for the
disbelievers a Blaze. billaahi wa Rasoolihee fainnaaa a’tadnaa lilkaafireena sa’eeraa [13] Wa lillaahii mulkus-

14. And to Allah belongs the

dominion of the heavens and the
earth. He forgives whom He wills samaawaati wal ard; yaghfiru limany yashaaa’u wa yu’azzibu many yashaaa’;

Merciful.
15. Those who remained behind
will say when you set out toward
talaqtum ilaa maghaanima litaakhuzoohaa zaroonaa nattabi’kum yureedoona the war booty to take it, "Let us
follow you." They wish to change
the words of Allah. Say, "Never
will you follow us. Thus did Allah
any yubaddiloo Kalaamallaah; qul lan tattabi’oonaa kazaalikum qaalal laahu min qablu
say before." So they will say,
"Rather, you envy us." But [in fact]
they were not understanding

fasa yaqooloona bal tahsudoonanna; bal kaanoo laa yafqahoona illaa qaleela [15]
except a little.
16. Say to those who remained
behind of the bedouins, "You
will be called to [face] a people
Qul lilmukhallafeena minal A’raabi satud’awna ilaa qawmin ulee baasin shadeedin
of great military might; you may
fight them, or they will submit.
So if you obey, Allah will give you

tuqaati loonahum aw yuslimoona fa in tutee’oo yu’tikumul laahu ajran hasananw-

a good reward; but if you turn
away as you turned away before,
He will punish you with a painful
punishment."

17. There is not upon the blind
any guilt or upon the lame any
guilt or upon the ill any guilt
‘alal a’maa harajunw wa laa ‘alal a’raji harajunw wa laa ‘alal mareedi haraj’ [for remaining behind]. And
whoever obeys Allah and His
Messenger - He will admit him
to gardens beneath which rivers
wa many yutil’il laaha wa Rasoolahoo yudkhilhu jannaatin tajree min tahtihal- flow; but whoever turns away -
He will punish him with a painful
punishment.

anhaaru wa many yatawalla yu’azzibhu ‘azaaban aleemaa [17] Laqad radiyal laahu 18. Certainly was Allah pleased
with the believers when they
pledged allegiance to you, [O
Muhammad], under the tree, and

so He sent down tranquillity upon
them and rewarded them with an

Allah which has occurred before.
And never will you find in the way laahil latee qad khalat min qablu wa lan tajida lisunnatil laahi tabdeelaa [23]
of Allah any change.
24. And it is He who withheld
their hands from you and your
hands from them within [the area Wa Huwal lazee kaffa aydiyahum ‘ankum wa aydiyakum ‘anhum bibatni Makkata mim-
of] Makkah after He caused you
