M.Pickthall
156. O ye who believe! Be not as those who disbelieved and said of their brethren who
went abroad in the land or were fighting in the field: If they had been (here) with
us they would not have died or been killed; that Allah may make it anguish in their
hearts. Allah giveth life and causeth death; and Allah is Seer of what ye do.
Yusuf Ali
156. O ye who believe! be not like the unbelievers who say of their brethren when they
are travelling through the earth or engaged in fighting: "If they had stayed with us
they would not have died or been slain. This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs
and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives life and death and Allah sees
well all that ye do.
M.Pickthall
157. And what though ye be slain in Allah's way or die therein? Surely pardon from
Allah and mercy are better than all that they amass.
Yusuf Ali
157. And if ye are slain or die in the way of Allah forgiveness and mercy from Allah
are far better than all they could amass.
M.Pickthall
158. What though ye be slain or die, when unto Allah ye are gathered?
Yusuf Ali
158. And if ye die or are slain Lo! it is unto Allah that ye are brought together.
M.Pickthall
159. It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast lenient with them (O Muhammad), for
if thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about
thee. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct
of affairs. And when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth
those who put their trust (in Him).
Yusuf Ali
159. It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them. Wert thou
severe or harsh-hearted they would have broken away from about thee; so pass over (their
faults) and ask for (Allah's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of
moment). Then when thou hast taken a decision put thy trust in Allah. For Allah
loves those who put their trust (in Him).
M.Pickthall
160. If Allah is your helper none can overcome you, and if He withdraw His help from
you, who is there who can help you? In Allah let believers put their trust.
Yusuf Ali
160. If Allah helps you none can overcome you: if He forsakes you who is there after
that that can help you? In Allah then let believers put their trust.
