M.Pickthall
41. O Messenger! Let not them grieve thee who vie one with another in the race to
disbelief, of such as say with their mouths: "We believe," but their hearts believe
not, and of the Jews: listeners for the sake of falsehood, listeners on behalf of
other folk who come not unto thee, changing words from their context and saying:
If this be given unto you, receive it but if this be not given unto you, then
beware! He whom Allah doometh unto sin, thou (by thine efforts) wilt avail him
naught against Allah. Those are they for whom the will of Allah is that He cleanse
not their hearts. Theirs in the world will be ignominy, and in the Hereafter
an awful doom;
Yusuf Ali
41. O Apostle! let not those grieve thee who race each other into unbelief: (whether
it be) among those who say: "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no
faith; or it be among the Jews men who will listen to any lie will listen even to
others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their
(right) times and places; they say "If ye are given this take it but if not beware:"
If anyone's trial is intended by Allah thou hast no authority in the least for him
against Allah. For such it is not Allah's will to purify their hearts. For them
there is disgrace in this world and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.
M.Pickthall
42. Listeners for the sake of falsehood! Greedy for illicit gain! If then they have
recourse unto thee (Muhammad) judge between them or disclaim jurisdiction. If thou
disclaimest jurisdiction, then they cannot harm thee at all. But if thou judgest,
judge between them with equity. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.
Yusuf Ali
42. (They are fond of) listening to falsehood of devouring anything forbidden. If
they do come to thee either judge between them or decline to interfere. If thou
decline they cannot hurt thee in the least. If thou judge judge in equity between
them; for Allah loveth those who judge in equity.
M.Pickthall
43. How come they unto thee for judgment when they have the Torah, wherein Allah
hath delivered judgment (for them)? Yet even after that they turn away. Such (folk)
are not believers.
Yusuf Ali
43. But why do they come to thee for decision when they have (their own) laws before
them? Therein is the (plain) command of Allah; yet even after that they would turn
away. For they are not (really) people of faith.
