كُتِبَ Is prescribed kutiba upon you ʿalaykumu [the] fighting l-qitālu while it wahuwa (is) hateful kur'hun to you lakum But perhaps waʿasā [that] an you dislike takrahū a thing shayan and it wahuwa (is) good khayrun for you lakum and perhaps waʿasā [that] an you love tuḥibbū a thing shayan and it wahuwa (is) bad sharrun for you lakum And Allah wal-lahu knows yaʿlamu while you wa-antum (do) not lā know taʿlamūna
Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not.
