And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [as a
strategy] for war or joining [another] company, has certainly returned with
anger [upon him] from Allah , and his refuge is Hell - and wretched is the
destination.
Muhsin Khan
And whoever turns his back to them on such a day - unless it be a stratagem of
war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own), - he indeed has drawn upon himself
wrath from Allah. And his abode is Hell, and worst indeed is that destination!
Pickthall
Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless manoeuvring for battle or
intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his
habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end.
Yusuf Ali
If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of
war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of
Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!
Shakir
And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for
the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes
deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall
it be.

And whoever turns his back upon that day to them, except (in case) of turning
off (i.e., turning off "e.g., the road" as a stratagem or to regroup) to fight

Sahih International
And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not,
[O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the
believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Muhsin Khan
You killed them not, but Allah killed them. And you (Muhammad SAW) threw not
when you did throw but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by a fair
trial from Him. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Pickthall
Ye (Muslims) slew them not, but Allah slew them. And thou (Muhammad) threwest
not when thou didst throw, but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by
a fair test from Him. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Yusuf Ali
It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of
dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the
Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and
knoweth (all things).
Shakir
So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite
when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer
upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Dr. Ghali
So, you did not kill them, but Allah killed them; and in no way did you (i.e.,
the prophet) throw when you threw, but Allah threw, and that He might try the
believers by a fair trial from Himself. Surely Allah is Ever-Hearing,
Ever-Knowing.

إِن تَسْتَفْتِحُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ ۖ وَإِن تَنتَهُوا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ

وَلَوْ كَثُرَتْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Sahih International
If you [disbelievers] seek the victory - the defeat has come to you. And if you
desist [from hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We
will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even
if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers.
Muhsin Khan
(O disbelievers) if you ask for a judgement, now has the judgement come unto you
and if you cease (to do wrong), it will be better for you, and if you return (to
the attack), so shall We return, and your forces will be of no avail to you,
however numerous it be, and verily, Allah is with the believers.
Pickthall
(O Qureysh!) If ye sought a judgment, now hath the judgment come unto you. And
if ye cease (from persecuting the believers) it will be better for you, but if
ye return (to the attack) We also shall return. And your host will avail you
naught, however numerous it be, and (know) that Allah is with the believers (in
His Guidance).
Yusuf Ali
(O Unbelievers!) if ye prayed for victory and judgment, now hath the judgment
come to you: if ye desist (from wrong), it will be best for you: if ye return
(to the attack), so shall We. Not the least good will your forces be to you even
if they were multiplied: for verily Allah is with those who believe!
Shakir
If you demanded a judgment, the judgment has then indeed come to you; and if you
desist, it will be better for you; and if you turn back (to fight), We (too)
shall turn back, and your forces shall avail you nothing, though they may be
many, and (know) that Allah is with the believers.
Dr. Ghali
In case you seek arbitration, then arbitration has already come to you; and in
case you refrain, then it is a most charitable thing for you; and in case you go
back, We will go back, and your community will never avail you anything, though
it be many; and that Allah is with the believers.

And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allah is one
fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans,
the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allah and in
that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion - the day when
the two armies met. And Allah , over all things, is competent.
Muhsin Khan
And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th)
of it is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of
the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor) and
the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to
Our slave (Muhammad SAW) on the Day of criterion (between right and wrong), the
Day when the two forces met (the battle of Badr) - And Allah is Able to do all
things.
Pickthall
And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for
Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and
the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed
unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination, the day when the two armies met.
And Allah is Able to do all things.
Yusuf Ali
And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share
is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the
needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We
sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the
two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.

indigent, and the wayfarer, in case you believe in Allah and what We sent down
upon Our Bondman on the day of the all-distinctive Criterion, the day the two

Ayah 8:42 الأية
إِذْ أَنتُم بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُم بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوَىٰ وَالرَّكْبُ
أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدتُّمْ لَاخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِي الْمِيعَادِ ۙ
وَلَٰكِن لِّيَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ أَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُولًا لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ
عَن بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَىٰ مَنْ حَيَّ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ ۗ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَسَمِيعٌ
عَلِيمٌ
Sahih International
[Remember] when you were on the near side of the valley, and they were on the
farther side, and the caravan was lower [in position] than you. If you had made
an appointment [to meet], you would have missed the appointment. But [it was] so
that Allah might accomplish a matter already destined - that those who perished
[through disbelief] would perish upon evidence and those who lived [in faith]
would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Muhsin Khan
(And remember) when you (the Muslim army) were on the near side of the valley,
and they on the farther side, and the caravan on the ground lower than you. Even
if you had made a mutual appointment to meet, you would certainly have failed in
the appointment, but (you met) that Allah might accomplish a matter already
ordained (in His Knowledge); so that those who were to be destroyed (for their
rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who
were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence. And surely,
Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Pickthall
When ye were on the near bank (of the valley) and they were on the yonder bank,
and the caravan was below you (on the coast plain). And had ye trysted to meet
one another ye surely would have failed to keep the tryst, but (it happened, as
it did, without the forethought of either of you) that Allah might conclude a
thing that must be done; that he who perished (on that day) might perish by a
clear proof (of His Sovereignty) and he who survived might survive by a clear
proof (of His Sovereignty). Lo! Allah in truth is Hearer, Knower.
Yusuf Ali
Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side,
and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual
appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But
(thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those
who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived
might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who
heareth and knoweth (all things).
Shakir
When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and they were on the farthest
side, while the caravan was in a lower place than you; and if you had mutually
made an appointment, you would certainly have broken away from the appointment,
but-- in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, that
he who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might
live by clear proof; and most surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
Dr. Ghali
As you were on the closer embankment, and they were on the remotest embankment,
and the cavalcade (of riders) was below you; and if you had made a mutual
appointment, you would indeed have differed about the promised appointment, but
that Allah might decree a Command that was to be performed, that whoever
perished might perish by a supreme evidence, and whoever lived might live by a
supreme evidence; and surely Allah is indeed Ever-Hearing, Ever-Knowing.

[Remember, O Muhammad], when Allah showed them to you in your dream as few; and
if He had shown them to you as many, you [believers] would have lost courage and
would have disputed in the matter [of whether to fight], but Allah saved [you
from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
Muhsin Khan
(And remember) when Allah showed them to you as few in your (i.e. Muhammad's
SAW) dream, if He had shown them to you as many, you would surely have been
discouraged, and you would surely have disputed in making a decision. But Allah
saved (you). Certainly, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts.
Pickthall
When Allah showed them unto thee (O Muhammad) in thy dream as few in number, and
if He had shown them to thee as many, ye (Muslims) would have faltered and would
have quarrelled over the affair. But Allah saved (you). Lo! He knoweth what is
in the breasts (of men).
Yusuf Ali
Remember in thy dream Allah showed them to thee as few: if He had shown them to
thee as many, ye would surely have been discouraged, and ye would surely have
disputed in (your) decision; but Allah saved (you): for He knoweth well the
(secrets) of (all) hearts.
Shakir
When Allah showed them to you in your dream as few; and if He had shown them to
you as many you would certainly have become weak-hearted and you would have
disputed about the matter, but Allah saved (you); surely He is the Knower of
what is in the breasts.
Dr. Ghali
As Allah showed you them in your sleeping as few; and if He had shown them to
you as many, you would indeed have been disheartened, and you would indeed have
contended together about the Command; but Allah saved (i.e., handed you victory)
(you). Surely He is Ever-Knowing of the inmost (thoughts) in the breasts
(Literally: what the breasts own).

The ones of them with whom you have covenanted, thereafter they break their

Sahih International
So if you, [O Muhammad], gain dominance over them in war, disperse by [means of]
them those behind them that perhaps they will be reminded.
Muhsin Khan
So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to
disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
Pickthall
If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those
who are behind them, that haply they may remember.
Yusuf Ali
If ye gain the mastery over them in war, disperse, with them, those who follow
them, that they may remember.
Shakir
Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example
of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful.
Dr. Ghali
So definitely in case you ever catch them in the war, then deal with them so as
to disperse the ones (who1..are) behind them, that possibly they would
constantly remember.

Sahih International
If you [have reason to] fear from a people betrayal, throw [their treaty] back
to them, [putting you] on equal terms. Indeed, Allah does not like traitors.
Muhsin Khan
If you (O Muhammad SAW) fear treachery from any people throw back (their
covenant) to them (so as to be) on equal terms (that there will be no more
covenant between you and them). Certainly Allah likes not the treacherous.
Pickthall
And if thou fearest treachery from any folk, then throw back to them (their
treaty) fairly. Lo! Allah loveth not the treacherous.
Yusuf Ali
If thou fearest treachery from any group, throw back (their covenant) to them,

Shakir
And if you fear treachery on the part of a people, then throw back to them on

And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not
cause failure [to Allah ].
Muhsin Khan
And let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip (escape from the
punishment). Verily, they will never be able to save themselves (from Allah's
Punishment).
Pickthall

Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the godly): they

And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely
they will not escape.

And definitely let not the ones who have disbelieved reckon that they have
outstripped (the believers); surely they (cannot) defy (My Will).

Yusuf Ali
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including
steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and
your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth
know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you,

And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to

you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in
Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with

And prepare for them whatever power and whatever garrisoned horses you can, to

O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty

O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast
they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred (steadfast)
they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the
disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence.
Yusuf Ali
O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you,
patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will
vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people

It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre
[upon Allah 's enemies] in the land. Some Muslims desire the commodities of this
world, but Allah desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allah is Exalted in Might
and Wise.
Muhsin Khan
It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with
ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You
desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the
captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Mighty,
All-Wise.
Pickthall
It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the
land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the
Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Yusuf Ali
It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he
hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world;
but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
Shakir
It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought
and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods of this world, while Allah
desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Dr. Ghali
In no way can any Prophet have captives until he has subjugated (the enemy) in
the earth; you (i.e., the believers) are willing to have the (chance) advantages
of the present (life), (Literally: the lowly "life", i.e., the life of this
world) and Allah wills the Hereafter; and Allah is Ever-Mighty, Ever-Wise.

Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and
lives in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided - they are
allies of one another. But those who believed and did not emigrate - for you
there is no guardianship of them until they emigrate. And if they seek help of
you for the religion, then you must help, except against a people between
yourselves and whom is a treaty. And Allah is Seeing of what you do.
Muhsin Khan
Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their
property and their lives in the Cause of Allah as well as those who gave (them)
asylum and help, - these are (all) allies to one another. And as to those who
believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of
protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion,
it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty
of mutual alliance, and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
Pickthall
Lo! those who believed and left their homes and strove with their wealth and
their lives for the cause of Allah, and those who took them in and helped them:
these are protecting friends one of another. And those who believed but did not
leave their homes, ye have no duty to protect them till they leave their homes;
but if they seek help from you in the matter of religion then it is your duty to
help (them) except against a folkbetween whom and you there is a treaty. Allah

Yusuf Ali
Those who believed, and adopted exile, and fought for the Faith, with their
property and their persons, in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave
(them) asylum and aid,- these are (all) friends and protectors, one of another.
As to those who believed but came not into exile, ye owe no duty of protection
to them until they come into exile; but if they seek your aid in religion, it is
your duty to help them, except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of
mutual alliance. And (remember) Allah seeth all that ye do.
Shakir
Surely those who believed and fled (their homes) and struggled hard in Allah's
way with their property and their souls, and those who gave shelter and helped--
these are guardians of each other; and (as for) those who believed and did not
fly, not yours is their guardianship until they fly; and if they seek aid from
you in the matter of religion, aid is incumbent on you except against a people
between whom and you there is a treaty, and Allah sees what you do.
Dr. Ghali
Surely the ones who have believed and have emigrated and striven with their
riches and their selves in the way of Allah, and the ones who have given abode
and have vindicated, those are constant patrons of one another (Literally: some
of them are patrons of some "others). And the ones who have believed, and have
not emigrated, in no way are you to offer them patronage in anything till they
emigrate; and in case they ask you (help towards) victory in (the name) of the
religion, then you have (to help them) towards victory, except against a people
between whom and you there is a compact; and Allah is Ever-Beholding whatever
you do.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ
آوَوا وَّنَصَرُوا أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّا ۚ لَّهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ
وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
Sahih International
But those who have believed and emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah and
those who gave shelter and aided - it is they who are the believers, truly. For
them is forgiveness and noble provision.
Muhsin Khan
And those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard in the Cause of Allah
(Al-Jihad), as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid; - these are the
believers in truth, for them is forgiveness and Rizqun Karim (a generous
provision i.e. Paradise).
Pickthall
Those who believed and left their homes and strove for the cause of Allah, and
those who took them in and helped them - these are the believers in truth. For
them is pardon, and bountiful provision.
Yusuf Ali
Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith, in the cause of
Allah as well as those who give (them) asylum and aid,- these are (all) in very
truth the Believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and a provision most
generous.
Shakir
And (as for) those who believed and fled and struggled hard in Allah's way, and
those who gave shelter and helped, these are the believers truly; they shall
have forgiveness and honorable provision.
Dr. Ghali
And the ones who have believed, and have emigrated, and have striven in the way
of Allah, and the ones who have given abode and helped towards victory, those
are they (who truly) are believers; they will have forgiveness and an honorable
provision.

Ayah 8:75 الأية
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَهَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدُوا مَعَكُمْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ
مِنكُمْ ۚ وَأُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ
ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Sahih International
And those who believed after [the initial emigration] and emigrated and fought
with you - they are of you. But those of [blood] relationship are more entitled
[to inheritance] in the decree of Allah . Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all
things.
Muhsin Khan
And those who believed afterwards, and emigrated and strove hard along with you,
(in the Cause of Allah) they are of you. But kindred by blood are nearer to one
another regarding inheritance in the decree ordained by Allah. Verily, Allah is
the All-Knower of everything.
Pickthall
And those who afterwards believed and left their homes and strove along with
you, they are of you; and those who are akin are nearer one to another in the
ordinance of Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things.
Yusuf Ali
And those who accept Faith subsequently, and adopt exile, and fight for the
Faith in your company,- they are of you. But kindred by blood have prior rights
against each other in the Book of Allah. Verily Allah is well-acquainted with
all things.
Shakir
And (as for) those who believed afterwards and fled and struggled hard along
with you, they are of you; and the possessors of relationships are nearer to
each other in the ordinance of Allah; surely Allah knows all things.
Dr. Ghali
And the ones who have believed even after (that) and have emigrated, and have
striven with you, then those are of you; and the ones who are related (by blood)
(Literally: near by birth "womb"; endowed with near kinship) have more right to
patronage with one another (Literally: some of them to some "others") in the
Book of Allah; surely Allah is Ever-Knowing of everything.
