Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo othkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum ith jaatkum junoodun faarsalna AAalayhim reehan wajunoodan lam tarawha wakana Allahu bima taAAmaloona baseeran\n9. O ye who believe!\n Remember the Grace of God,\n (Bestowed) on you, when\n There came down on you\n Hosts (to overwhelm you):\n But We sent against them\nA hurricane and forces\n That ye saw not:\n But God sees (clearly)\n All that ye do.\n10. Ith jaookum min fawqikum wamin asfala minkum wa-ith zaghati al-absaru wabalaghati alquloobu alhanajira watathunnoona biAllahi alththunoona\n10. Behold! they came on you\n From above you and from\n Below you, and behold,\n The eyes became dim\n And the hearts gaped\n Up to the throats,\n And ye imagined various\n (Vain) thoughts about God!\n11. Hunalika ibtuliya almu-minoona wazulziloo zilzalan shadeedan\n11. In that situation\n Were the Believers tried:\n They were shaken as by\n A tremendous shaking.\n12. Wa-ith yaqoolu almunafiqoona waallatheena fee quloobihim maradun ma waAAadana Allahu warasooluhu illa ghurooran\n12. Find behold! The Hypocrites\n And those in whose hearts\n Is a disease (even) say: \"God\n And His Apostle promised us\n Nothing but delusions!\"\n13. Wa-ith qalat ta-ifatun minhum ya ahla yathriba la muqama lakum fairjiAAoo wayasta/thinu fareequn minhumu alnnabiyya yaqooloona inna buyootana AAawratun wama hiya biAAawratin in yureedoona illa firaran\n13. Behold! A party among them\n Said: \"Ye men of Yathrib!\n Ye cannot stand (the attack)!\n Therefore go back!\"\n And a band of them\n Ask for leave of the Prophet,\nSaying, \"Truly our houses\n Are bare and exposed,\" though\n They were not exposed:\n They intended nothing but\n To run away.\n14. Walaw dukhilat AAalayhim min aqtariha thumma su-iloo alfitnata laatawha wama talabbathoo biha illa yaseeran\n14. And if an entry had\n Been effected to them\n From the sides of the (City),\n And they had been\n Incited to sedition.\n They would certainly have\n Brought it to pass, with\n None but a brief delay!\n15. Walaqad kanoo AAahadoo Allaha min qablu la yuwalloona al-adbara wakana AAahdu Allahi mas-oolan\n15. And yet they had already\n Covenanted with God not to turn\n Their backs, and a covenant\n With God must (surely)\n Be answered for.\n16. Qul lan yanfaAAakumu alfiraru in farartum mina almawti awi alqatli wa-ithan la tumattaAAoona illa qaleelan\n16. Say: \"Running away will not\n Profit you if ye are\n Running away from death\n Or slaughter; and even if\n (Ye do escape), no more\n Than a brief (respite)\n Will ye be allowed to enjoy!\"\n17. Qul man tha allathee yaAAsimukum mina Allahi in arada bikum soo-an aw arada bikum rahmatan wala yajidoona lahum min dooni Allahi waliyyan wala naseeran\n17. Say: \"Who is it that can\n Screen you from God\n If it be His wish\n To give you Punishment\n Or to give you Mercy?\"\n Nor will they find for themselves,\n Besides God, any protector\n Or helper.\n18. Qad yaAAlamu Allahu almuAAawwiqeena minkum waalqa-ileena li-ikhwanihim halumma ilayna wala ya/toona alba/sa illa qaleelan\n18. Verily God knows those\n Among you who keep back\n (Men) and those who say\n To their brethren, \"Come along\n To us\", but come not\n To the fight except\n For just a little while,\n19. Ashihhatan AAalaykum fa-itha jaa alkhawfu raaytahum yanthuroona ilayka tadooru aAAyunuhum kaallathee yughsha AAalayhi mina almawti fa-itha thahaba alkhawfu salaqookum bi-alsinatin hidadin ashihhatan AAala alkhayri ola-ika lam yu/minoo faahbata Allahu aAAmalahum wakana thalika AAala Allahi yaseeran\n19. Covetous over you\n Then when fear comes,\n Thou wilt see them looking\n To thee, their eyes revolving,\n Like (those of) one over whom\n Hovers death: but when\n The fear is past,\n They will smite you\n With sharp tongues, covetous\n Of goods. Such men have\n No faith, and so God\n Has made their deeds\n Of none effect: and that\n Is easy for God.\n20. Yahsaboona al-ahzaba lam yathhaboo wa-in ya/ti al-ahzabu yawaddoo law annahum badoona fee al-aAArabi yas-aloona AAan anba-ikum walaw kanoo feekum ma qataloo illa qaleelan\n20. They think that the Confederates\n Have not withdrawn; and if\n The Confederates should come (again),\n They would wish they were\n In the deserts (wandering)\n Among the Bedouins, and\n Seeking news about you\n (From a safe distance);\n And if they were\n In your midst, they\n Would fight but little.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXXIII.: A\u1e25z\u0101b, or The Co...","type":"page"}
