مَّن (He) who man obeys yuṭiʿi the Messenger l-rasūla then surely faqad he obeyed aṭāʿa Allah l-laha and whoever waman turns away tawallā then not famā We (have) sent you arsalnāka over them ʿalayhim (as) a guardian ḥafīẓan
He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allāh; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian.
وَيَقُولُونَ And they say wayaqūlūna (We pledge) obedience ṭāʿatun Then when fa-idhā they leave barazū from min you ʿindika plan by night bayyata a group ṭāifatun of them min'hum other than ghayra that which alladhī you say taqūlu But Allah wal-lahu records yaktubu what mā they plan by night yubayyitūna So turn (away) fa-aʿriḍ from them ʿanhum and put (your) trust watawakkal in ʿalā Allah l-lahi And sufficient wakafā is Allah bil-lahi (as) a Trustee wakīlan
And they say, "[We pledge] obedience." But when they leave you, a group of them spend the night determining to do other than what you say. But Allāh records what they plan by night. So leave them alone and rely upon Allāh. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
أَفَلَا Then (do) not afalā they ponder yatadabbarūna (on) the Quran l-qur'āna And if walaw it had (been) kāna (of) min from ʿindi other than ghayri Allah l-lahi surely they (would have) found lawajadū in it fīhi contradiction ikh'tilāfan much kathīran
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’ān?1 If it had been from [any] other than Allāh, they would have found within it much contradiction.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā comes to them jāahum a matter amrun of mina the security l-amni or awi [the] fear l-khawfi they spread adhāʿū [with] it bihi But if walaw they (had) referred it raddūhu to ilā the Messenger l-rasūli and to wa-ilā those ulī (having) authority l-amri among them min'hum surely would have known it laʿalimahu those who alladhīna draw correct conclusion (from) it yastanbiṭūnahu among them min'hum And if not walawlā (had been the) bounty faḍlu (of) Allah l-lahi on you ʿalaykum and His Mercy waraḥmatuhu surely you (would have) followed la-ittabaʿtumu the Shaitaan l-shayṭāna except illā a few qalīlan
And when there comes to them something [i.e., information] about [public] security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan, except for a few.
فَقَـٰتِلْ So fight faqātil in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi not lā are you responsible tukallafu except illā (for) yourself nafsaka And encourage waḥarriḍi the believers l-mu'minīna perhaps ʿasā Allah l-lahu will an restrain yakuffa (the) might basa (of) those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū And Allah wal-lahu (is) Stronger ashaddu (in) Might basan and Stronger wa-ashaddu (in) punishment tankīlan
So fight, [O Muḥammad], in the cause of Allāh; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allāh will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allāh is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.1

Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share [i.e., reward] therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a portion [i.e., burden] therefrom. And ever is Allāh, over all things, a Keeper.1
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā you are greeted ḥuyyītum with a greeting bitaḥiyyatin then greet faḥayyū with better bi-aḥsana than it min'hā or aw return it ruddūhā Indeed inna Allah l-laha is kāna of ʿalā every kulli thing shayin an Accountant ḥasīban
And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it [in a like manner]. Indeed Allāh is ever, over all things, an Accountant.
