O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will ˹then˺ become losers.

But Allah is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.

We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down ˹any˺ authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِن تُطِيعُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُوا۟ خَٰسِرِينَ

بَلِ ٱللَّهُ مَوْلَىٰكُمْۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلنَّٰصِرِينَ

سَنُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱلرُّعْبَ بِمَآ أَشْرَكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَٰنࣰاۖ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And Allah had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing the enemy by His permission until ˹the time˺ when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the order ˹given by the Prophet˺ and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then he turned you back from them ˹defeated˺ that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allah is the possessor of bounty for the believers.

˹Remember˺ when you ˹fled and˺ climbed ˹the mountain˺ without looking aside at anyone while the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allah repaid you with distress upon distress so you would not grieve for that which had escaped you ˹of victory and spoils of war˺ or ˹for˺ that which had befallen you ˹of injury and death˺. And Allah is ˹fully˺ Acquainted with what you do.

وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَعْدَهُۥٓ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُم بِإِذْنِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِي ٱلْأَمْرِ وَعَصَيْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَآ أَرَىٰكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ مِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْۖ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

۞ إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَلَا تَلْوُۥنَ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدࣲ وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُمْ فِيٓ أُخْرَىٰكُمْ فَأَثَٰبَكُمْ غَمَّۢا بِغَمࣲّ لِّكَيْلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا مَآ أَصَٰبَكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Then after distress, He sent down upon you security ˹in the form of˺ drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allah other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us ˹to have done˺ in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allah." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, some of us would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." ˹It was˺ so that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts.

Indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met, it was Satan who caused them to slip because of some ˹blame˺ they had earned. But Allah has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing.

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْغَمِّ أَمَنَةࣰ نُّعَاسࣰا يَغْشَىٰ طَآئِفَةࣰ مِّنكُمْۖ وَطَآئِفَةࣱ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ غَيْرَ ٱلْحَقِّ ظَنَّ ٱلْجَٰهِلِيَّةِۖ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ مِن شَيْءࣲۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِۗ يُخْفُونَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لَا يُبْدُونَ لَكَۖ يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ شَيْءࣱ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هَٰهُنَاۗ قُل لَّوْ كُنتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَتْلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمْۖ وَلِيَبْتَلِيَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا۟ مِنكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْتَقَى ٱلْجَمْعَانِ إِنَّمَا ٱسْتَزَلَّهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوا۟ۖ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمࣱ

O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that ˹misconception˺ a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do.

And if you are killed in the cause of Allah or die - then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate ˹in this world˺.

And whether you die or are killed, unto Allah you will be gathered.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقَالُوا۟ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ إِذَا ضَرَبُوا۟ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ كَانُوا۟ غُزࣰّى لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ عِندَنَا مَا مَاتُوا۟ وَمَا قُتِلُوا۟ لِيَجْعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسْرَةࣰ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحْيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرࣱ

وَلَئِن قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةࣱ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَيْرࣱ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

وَلَئِن مُّتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

So by mercy from Allah, ˹O Muhammad˺, you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude ˹in speech˺ and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely ˹upon Him˺.

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْۖ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَٱنفَضُّوا۟ مِنْ حَوْلِكَۖ فَٱعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَمْرِۖ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ

If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely.

It is not ˹attributable˺ to any prophet that he would act unfaithfully ˹in regard to war booty˺. And whoever betrays, ˹taking unlawfully˺, will come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection. Then will every soul be ˹fully˺ compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.

إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْۖ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَغُلَّۚ وَمَن يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسࣲ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

So is one who pursues the pleasure of Allah like one who brings upon himself the anger of Allah and whose refuge is Hell? And wretched is the destination.

They are ˹varying˺ degrees in the sight of Allah, and Allah is Seeing of whatever they do.

أَفَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَنۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطࣲ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

هُمْ دَرَجَٰتٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
