M.Pickthall
77. Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish
worship and pay the poor due, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold, a
party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say:
Our Lord! Why hast thou ordained fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite
yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the
Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged
the down upon a date stone.
Yusuf Ali
77. Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands
(form fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at
length) the order for fighting was issued to them behold! a section of them feared
men as or even more than they should have feared Allah: they say: "Our Lord! why hast
Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not grant us respite to our (natural) term
near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the
best for those who do right: never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!.
M.Pickthall
78. Wheresoever ye may be, death will overtake you, even though ye were in lofty
towers. Yet if a happy thing befalleth them they say: This is from Allah; and if an
evil thing befalleth them they say: This is of thy doing (O Muhammad). Say (unto them)
: All is from Allah. What is amiss with these people that they come not nigh to
understand a happening?
Yusuf Ali
78. "Wherever ye are death will find you out even if ye are in towers built up strong
and high!" If some good befalls them they say "This is from Allah"; but if evil they
say "this is from thee" (O Prophet). "Say: "All things are from Allah. But what hath
come to these people that they fail to understand a single fact?.
M.Pickthall
79. Whatever of good befalleth thee ( O man ) it is from Allah, and whatever of ill
befalleth thee it is from thyself. We have sent thee ( Muhammad ) as a messenger unto
mankind and Allah is sufficient as witness.
Yusuf Ali
79. Whatever good (O man!) happens to thee is from Allah; but whatever evil happens
to thee is from thy (own) soul. And We have sent thee as an Apostle to (instruct)
mankind: and enough is Allah for a witness.
M.Pickthall
80. Whoso obeyeth the messenger obeyeth Allah, and whoso turneth away: We have not
sent thee as a warder over them.
Yusuf Ali
80. He who obeys the Apostle obeys Allah: but if any turn away We have not sent thee
to watch over their (evil deeds).
M.Pickthall
81. And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party
of them spend the night in planning other than what thou sayest. Allah recordeth what
they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as
Trustee.
Yusuf Ali
81. They have "Obedience" on their lips; but when they leave thee a section of them
meditate all night on things very different from what thou tellest them but Allah
records their nightly (plots): so keep clear of them and put thy trust in Allah; and
enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.
