يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O Prophet yāayyuhā O Prophet l-nabiyu Strive (against) jāhidi the disbelievers l-kufāra and the hypocrites wal-munāfiqīna and be stern wa-ugh'luẓ with them ʿalayhim And their abode wamawāhum (is) Hell jahannamu and wretched wabi'sa (is) the destination l-maṣīru
O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
يَحْلِفُونَ They swear yaḥlifūna by Allah bil-lahi (that) they said nothing mā (that) they said nothing qālū while certainly walaqad they said qālū (the) word kalimata (of) the disbelief l-kuf'ri and disbelieved wakafarū after baʿda their (pretense of) Islam is'lāmihim and planned wahammū [of] what bimā not lam they could attain yanālū And not wamā they were resentful naqamū except illā that an Allah had enriched them aghnāhumu Allah had enriched them l-lahu and His Messenger warasūluhu of min His Bounty faḍlihi So if fa-in they repent yatūbū it is yaku better khayran for them lahum and if wa-in they turn away yatawallaw Allah will punish them yuʿadhib'humu Allah will punish them l-lahu (with) a punishment ʿadhāban painful alīman in fī the world l-dun'yā and (in) the Hereafter wal-ākhirati And not wamā for them lahum in fī the earth l-arḍi any min protector waliyyin and not walā a helper naṣīrin
They swear by Allāh that they did not say [anything against the Prophet (ﷺ)] while they had said the word of disbelief and disbelieved after their [pretense of] Islām and planned that which they were not to attain.1 And they were not resentful except [for the fact] that Allāh and His Messenger had enriched them of His bounty.2 So if they repent, it is better for them; but if they turn away, Allāh will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And there will not be for them on earth any protector or helper.
۞ وَمِنْهُم And among them wamin'hum (is he) who man made a covenant ʿāhada (with) Allah l-laha If la-in He gives us ātānā of min His bounty faḍlihi surely we will give charity lanaṣṣaddaqanna and surely we will be walanakūnanna among mina the righteous l-ṣāliḥīna
And among them are those who made a covenant with Allāh, [saying], "If He should give us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity, and we will surely be among the righteous."
فَلَمَّآ But when falammā He gave them ātāhum of min His Bounty faḍlihi they became stingy bakhilū with it bihi and turned away watawallaw while they wahum (were) averse muʿ'riḍūna
But when He gave them from His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away while they refused.
فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ So He penalized them fa-aʿqabahum (with) hypocrisy nifāqan in fī their hearts qulūbihim until ilā the day yawmi when they will meet Him yalqawnahu because bimā they broke akhlafū (the covenant with) Allah l-laha what mā they had promised Him waʿadūhu and because wabimā they used to kānū lie yakdhibūna
So He penalized them with hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they will meet Him - because they failed Allāh in what they promised Him and because they [habitually] used to lie.
أَلَمْ Do not alam they know yaʿlamū that anna Allah l-laha knows yaʿlamu their secret sirrahum and their secret conversation wanajwāhum and that wa-anna Allah l-laha (is) All-Knower ʿallāmu (of) the unseen l-ghuyūbi
Did they not know that Allāh knows their secrets and their private conversations and that Allāh is the Knower of the unseen?
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna criticize yalmizūna the ones who give willingly l-muṭawiʿīna of mina the believers l-mu'minīna concerning fī the charities l-ṣadaqāti and those who wa-alladhīna not lā find yajidūna except illā their effort juh'dahum so they ridicule fayaskharūna them min'hum Allah will ridicule sakhira Allah will ridicule l-lahu them min'hum and for them walahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
Those who criticize the contributors among the believers concerning [their] charities and [criticize] the ones who find nothing [to spend] except their effort, so they ridicule them - Allāh will ridicule them, and they will have a painful punishment.
