1
O Prophet, have fear of God and do not yield to those who deny the truth and the hypocrites. God is all-knowing and all-wise.
2
Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. God is aware of all that you do.
3
Put your trust in God; God is sufficient as a Guardian.
4
God has not placed two hearts in any man's body, nor has He made your wivesfrom whom you keep away by saying, 'Be as my mother's back'your (real) mothers, neither He has made your adopted sons as your own sons. These are merely words which you utter with your mouths: but God speaks the truth and gives guidance to the right path.
5
Call them after their own fathers; that is closer to justice in the sight of God. If you do not know their fathers, regard them as your brothers in faith and your protégés. You will not be blamed if you make a mistake, you will be held accountable only for what in your hearts you have done intentionally. God is forgiving and merciful.
6
The Prophet has a higher claim on the believers than (they have on) their own selves, and his wives are their mothers. Blood relatives are closer to one another in God's Book than are believers and the Emigrants except that you want to show your friends a kindness. That is decreed in the Book.
7
We took a solemn pledge from the prophets, from you and Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary We took a solemn pledge from all of them.
8
So that God might ask those men of truth as to (what response) their truthfulness (had received on earth). But for those who deny the truth, He has prepared a woeful punishment.
9
You who have attained to faith, remember God's blessings upon you when mighty armies massed against you. We sent a violent wind against them and hosts that you could not see. God sees all that you do.
10
When they came against you both from above you and from below you, your eyes rolled (with fear) and your hearts leapt up to your throats, and you entertained (ill) thoughts about God.
11
There the faithful were put to the proof and they were shaken as if by an earthquake.
12
The hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said, 'God and His Messenger have promised us nothing but delusions.'
13
Others said, 'People of Yathrib, you cannot withstand (the enemy) here: so go back!' Yet others asked leave of the Prophet, saying, 'Our houses are exposed and (defenceless).'They were in truth not exposed: they only wished to flee.
14
If their town had been stormed, and they had been incited to sedition, they would have rebelled with little hesitation.
15
They had already vowed before God that they would never turn their backs: and a vow made to God must be answered for.
16
Say, 'Flight shall not avail you: if you manage to escape from death or killing, you will enjoy life only for a short while.'
17
Say, 'Who is there to shield you from God if He wishes to harm you? If God wishes to show you mercy, who can prevent Him.' Besides God they shall find none to protect them, and none to bring them succour.
18
God knows exactly who among you hold the others back, who say to their brethren, 'Come over to our side,' and they seldom take part in the fighting.
19
Begrudging you all help, but when danger comes, you can see them looking at you with rolling eyes as if in their death throes; but once their fear has passed, they come to you and do glib-talking in their greed for wealth. Such men have no faith, so God has foiled their actions. This is indeed easy for God.
20
They thought the confederate tribes would never withdraw. Indeed, if the confederates should come again, they would prefer to be in the desert, among the Bedouins. There they would ask news of you (from a distance). But if they were with you, they would take very little part in the fighting.
21
You have indeed in the Prophet of God a good example for those of you who look to God and the Last Day, and remember God always.
22
When the believers saw the confederates, they said, 'This is what God and His Messenger have promised us. Surely the promise of God and His Messenger has come true.' It served to increase them in faith and submission.
23
Among the believers there are men who have been true to the pledge they made with God. Among them are such as have fulfilled their vow, and some who (still) wait, without having changed (their resolve) in the least.
24
God will surely reward the truthful for their truthfulness and punish the hypocrites, if He so wishes, or He may accept their repentance, for God is forgiving and merciful.
25
God turned back those who denied the truth in their rage, without their having gained any advantage. God was enough to (protect) the believers in battle. God is strong and all-powerful.
26
He brought down from their strongholds those People of the Book who supported the aggressors and filled their hearts with terror. Some of them you killed and others you took captive.
27
He made you heirs to their lands, and their houses, and their possessions and lands on which you had not set foot before. God has power over all things.
28
O Prophet, say to your wives, 'If you seek the life of this world and all its finery then come, I will make provision for you, and release you honourably.
29
But if you seek God and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, then know that God has prepared a great reward for those of you who do good deeds.'
30
Wives of the Prophet! Any one of you who commits a flagrant act of misconduct shall be doubly punished. That is easy enough for God.
