إِلَّا Except illā those who alladhīna join yaṣilūna [to] ilā a group qawmin between you baynakum and between them wabaynahum (is) a treaty mīthāqun or aw those who come to you jāūkum restraining ḥaṣirat their hearts ṣudūruhum that an they fight you yuqātilūkum or aw they fight yuqātilū their people qawmahum And if walaw (had) willed shāa Allah l-lahu surely He (would have) given them power lasallaṭahum over you ʿalaykum and surely they (would have) fought you falaqātalūkum So if fa-ini they withdraw from you iʿ'tazalūkum and (do) not falam fight against you yuqātilūkum and offer wa-alqaw to you ilaykumu [the] peace l-salama then not famā (has) made jaʿala Allah l-lahu for you lakum against them ʿalayhim a way sabīlan
Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allāh had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allāh has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them.
