| Tahir ul Qadri | اہلِ مدینہ اور ان کے گرد و نواح کے (رہنے والے) دیہاتی لوگوں کے لئے مناسب نہ تھا کہ وہ رسول اﷲ (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) سے (الگ ہو کر) پیچھے رہ جائیں اور نہ یہ کہ ان کی جانِ (مبارک) سے زیادہ اپنی جانوں سے رغبت رکھیں، یہ (حکم) اس لئے ہے کہ انہیں اﷲ کی راہ میں جو پیاس (بھی) لگتی ہے اور جو مشقت (بھی) پہنچتی ہے اور جو بھوک (بھی) لگتی ہے اور جو کسی ایسی جگہ پر چلتے ہیں جہاں کاچلنا کافروں کو غضبناک کرتا ہے اور دشمن سے جو کچھ بھی پاتے ہیں (خواہ قتل اور زخم ہو یا مالِ غنیمت وغیرہ) مگر یہ کہ ہر ایک بات کے بدلہ میں ان کے لئے ایک نیک عمل لکھا جاتا ہے۔ بیشک اللہ نیکوکاروں کا اَجر ضائع نہیں فرماتا | ||||||

| Ahmed Ali | مدینہ والوں اور ان کے آس پاس دیہات کے رہنے والوں کو یہ مناسب نہیں تھا کہ الله کے رسول سے پیچھے رہ جائیں اور نہ یہ کہ اپنی جانوں کو اس کی جان سے زیادہ عزیز سمجھیں یہ اس لیے ہے کہ انہیں الله کی راہ میں جو تکلیف پہنچتی ہے پیاس کی یا ماندگی کی یا بھوک کی یاہ وہ ایسی جگہ چلتے ہیں جو کافروں کے غصہ کو بھڑکائے اور یا کافروں سے کوئی چیز چھین لیتے ہیں ہر بات پر ان کے لیے عمل صالح لکھا جاتا ہے بے شک الله نیکی کرنے والوں کا اجر ضائع نہیں کرتا | ||||||
| Ahmed Raza Khan | مدینہ والوں اور ان کے گرد دیہات والوں کو لائق نہ تھا کہ رسول اللہ سے پیچھے بیٹھ رہیں اور نہ یہ کہ ان کی جان سے اپنی جان پیاری سمجھیں یہ اس لیے کہ انہیں جو پیاس یا تکلیف یا بھوک اللہ کی راہ میں پہنچتی ہے اور جہاں ایسی جگہ قدم رکھتے ہیں جس سے کافروں کو غیظ آئے اور جو کچھ کسی دشمن کا بگاڑتے ہیں اس سب کے بدلے ان کے لیے نیک عمل لکھا جاتا ہے بیشک اللہ نیکوں کا نیگ (اجر) ضائع نہیں کرتا، | ||||||

| Yusuf Ali | It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;- | ||||||
| Pickthal | It is not for the townsfolk of Al-Madinah and for those around them of the wandering Arabs so stay behind the messenger of Allah and prefer their lives to his life. That is because neither thirst nor toil nor hunger afflicteth them in the way of Allah, nor step they any step that angereth the disbelievers, nor gain they from the enemy a gain, but a good deed is recorded for them therefor. Lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good. | ||||||
| Arberry | It is not for the people of the City and for the Bedouins who dwell around them to stay behind God's Messenger, and to prefer their lives to his; that is because they are smitten neither by thirst, nor fatigue, nor emptiness in the way of God, neither tread they any tread enraging the unbelievers, nor gain any gain from any enemy, but a righteous deed is thereby written to their account; God leaves not to waste the wage of the good-doers. | ||||||
| Shakir | It did not beseem the people of Medina and those round about them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind the Messenger of Allah, nor should they desire (anything) for themselves in preference to him; this is because there afflicts them not thirst or fatigue or hunger in Allah's way, nor do they tread a path which enrages the unbelievers, nor do they attain from the enemy what they attain, but a good work is written down to them on account of it; surely Allah does not waste the reward of the doers of good; | ||||||
| Sarwar | Also, they would not have spent anything, great or small, for the cause of God or travel through a valley without God decreeing a reward for them far better than whatever they had done. | ||||||
| H/K/Saheeh | It was not [proper] for the people of Madinah and those surrounding them of the bedouins that they remain behind after [the departure of] the Messenger of Allah or that they prefer themselves over his self. That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allah, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is registered for them as a righteous deed. Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of good. | ||||||
| Malik | It is not proper for the people of Medina and the beduin Arabs of the neighborhood to forsake the Messenger of Allah or to jeopardize his life so as to safeguard their own: because they do not suffer any thirst or hunger or any ordeal for the sake of Allah, or take any step which may provoke the unbelievers, or receive any injury from an enemy, but shall be written down as a good deed to their account; for Allah does not waste the reward of the righteous.[120] | ||||||
| Maulana Ali** | It was not proper for the people of Madinah and those round about them of the desert Arabs to remain behind the Messenger of Allah, nor to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because there afflicts them neither thirst nor fatigue nor hunger in Allah | ||||||
| Free Minds | It is not advisable for the city dwellers and those around them of the Nomads that they should lag behind after God's messenger, nor should they yearn for themselves above him. That is because any thirst that will come to them, or fatigue, or hunger in the cause of God, or any step that they take which will annoy the rejecters, or any gain they have over any enemy; it will be recorded as a good deed for them. God does not waste the reward of the good doers. | ||||||
| Qaribullah | The people of Madinah and the Arabs who dwell around them have no cause to stay behind the Messenger of Allah, or to prefer their lives to his. They are neither stricken by thirst, nor by tiredness, nor yet by hunger in the Way of Allah, nor do they take steps that anger the unbelievers, nor gain any gain from an enemy, but that it is counted as a righteous deed. Allah does not waste the wage of the gooddoers. | ||||||
| George Sale | There was no reason why the inhabitants of Medina, and the Arabs of the desert who dwell around them, should stay behind the Apostle of God, or should prefer themselves before him. This is unreasonable: Because they are not distressed either by thirst, or labour, or hunger, for the defence of God's true religion; neither do they stir a step, which may irritate the unbelievers; neither do they receive from the enemy any damage, but a good work is written down unto them for the same; for God suffereth not the reward of the righteous to perish. | ||||||
| JM Rodwell | No cause had the people of Medina and the Arabs of the desert around them, to abandon God's Apostle, or to prefer their own lives to his; because neither thirst, nor the labour nor hunger, could come upon them when on path of God; neither do they step a st | ||||||
| Asad | It does not behove the people of the [Prophet's] City and the bedouin [who live] around them to hold back from following God's Apostle, or to care for their own selves more than for him-for' whenever they suffer from thirst or weariness or hunger in God's cause, and whenever they take any step which confounds'S8 those who deny the truth, and whenever there comes to them from the enemy whatever may be destined for them `9 -[whenever anything thereof comes to pass,,] a good deed is recorded in their favour.'? Verily, God does not fail to requite the doers of good! | ||||||
| Khalifa** | Neither the dwellers of the city, nor the Arabs around them, shall seek to stay behind the messenger of GOD (when he mobilizes for war). Nor shall they give priority to their own affairs over supporting him. This is because they do not suffer any thirst, or any effort, or hunger in the cause of GOD, or take a single step that enrages the disbelievers, or inflict any hardship upon the enemy, without having it written down for them as a credit. GOD never fails to recompense those who work righteousness. | ||||||
| Hilali/Khan** | It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allahs Messenger (Muhammad SAW when fighting in Allahs Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allah, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allah wastes not the reward of the Muhsinoon | ||||||
| QXP Shabbir Ahemd** | People of Madinah, and the Bedouins around, should not stay behind the Messenger. Nor shall they prefer their lives to his life. For, any thirst, effort or hunger that afflicts them in the Cause of Allah, or a single step that they take that angers the rejecters, and whatever gain they gain from the enemy, becomes a credit, a good deed recorded for them. Allah never loses the wages of the doers of good. | ||||||
