M.Pickthall
49. Of them is he who saith: Grant me leave (to stay at home) and tempt me not. Surely
it is into temptation that they (thus) have fallen. Lo! hell is all around the
disbelievers.
Yusuf Ali
49. Among them is (many) a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into
trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? And indeed hell surrounds the
unbelievers (on all sides).
M.Pickthall
50. If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth them, and if calamity befalleth
thee, they say: We took precaution, and they turn away well pleased.
Yusuf Ali
50. If good befalls thee it grieves them; but if a misfortune befalls thee they say
"we took indeed our precautions beforehand" and they turn away rejoicing.
M.Pickthall
51. Say: Naught befalleth us save that which Allah hath decreed for us. He is our
protecting Friend. In Allah let believers put their trust!
Yusuf Ali
51. Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our
protector": and on Allah let the believers put their trust.
M.Pickthall
52. Say: Can ye await for us aught save one of two good things (death or victory
in Allah's way )? while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a doom
from Him or at our hands. Await then! Lo! we are awaiting with you.
Yusuf Ali
52. Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things
(martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send His
punishment form Himself or by our hands. So wait (expectant); we too will wait
with you."
M.Pickthall
53. Say: Pay (your contribution), willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted
from you. Lo! ye were ever froward folk.
Yusuf Ali
53. Say: "Spend (for the cause) willingly or unwillingly: not from you will it be
accepted: for ye are indeed a people rebellious and wicked."
M.Pickthall
54. And naught preventeth that their contributions should be accepted from them save
that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His messenger, and they come not to worship
save as idlers, and pay not (their contribution) save reluctantly.
Yusuf Ali
54. The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are: that they reject
Allah and His apostle; that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they
offer contributions unwillingly.
M.Pickthall
55. So let not their riches nor their children please thee (O Muhammad). Allah thereby
intendeth but to punish them in the life of the world and that their souls shall pass
away while they are disbelievers
Yusuf Ali
55. Let not their wealth nor their (following in) sons dazzle thee: in reality Allah's
plan is to punish them with these things in this life and that their souls may perish
in their (very) denial of Allah.
