لـٰكِنِ الرَّسولُ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مَعَهُ جاهَدوا بِأَموالِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم ۚ وَأُولـٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الخَيراتُ ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

However, the Messenger and those who believed with him strive with their wealth and their lives. For these will be the good things, and it is they who will be successful.

أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

God has prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That’s the supreme success.

وَجاءَ المُعَذِّرونَ مِنَ الأَعرابِ لِيُؤذَنَ لَهُم وَقَعَدَ الَّذينَ كَذَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ سَيُصيبُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِنهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Some Desert Arabs came with excuses, seeking an exemption, and those who lied to God and His Messenger sat. A painful punishment will strike those among them who disbelieved.

لَيسَ عَلَى الضُّعَفاءِ وَلا عَلَى المَرضىٰ وَلا عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ ما يُنفِقونَ حَرَجٌ إِذا نَصَحوا لِلَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۚ ما عَلَى المُحسِنينَ مِن سَبيلٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

There is no blame upon the weak, nor upon the sick, nor upon those who find nothing to spend, provided they are true toward God and His messenger. There is no blame on those who do good. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَلا عَلَى الَّذينَ إِذا ما أَتَوكَ لِتَحمِلَهُم قُلتَ لا أَجِدُ ما أَحمِلُكُم عَلَيهِ تَوَلَّوا وَأَعيُنُهُم تَفيضُ مِنَ الدَّمعِ حَزَنًا أَلّا يَجِدوا ما يُنفِقونَ

Nor on those who, when they came to you asking to be transported, and you said, “I have nothing to transport you on,” they turned away, their eyes overflowing with tears out of sadness that they couldn’t find the means to spend.

يَعتَذِرونَ إِلَيكُم إِذا رَجَعتُم إِلَيهِم ۚ قُل لا تَعتَذِروا لَن نُؤمِنَ لَكُم قَد نَبَّأَنَا اللَّهُ مِن أَخبارِكُم ۚ وَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُم وَرَسولُهُ ثُمَّ تُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عالِمِ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

They will make excuses to you when you return to them. Say, “Don’t make excuses; we won’t believe you. God has informed us of your intentions. God and His Messenger will observe your actions, and you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, who will inform you of everything you did.”

سَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُم إِذَا انقَلَبتُم إِلَيهِم لِتُعرِضوا عَنهُم ۖ فَأَعرِضوا عَنهُم ۖ إِنَّهُم رِجسٌ ۖ وَمَأواهُم جَهَنَّمُ جَزاءً بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

Upon your return to them, they will swear by God, hoping you will accept their excuses. Distance yourself from them, for they are impure, and their dwelling is Hell—a just compensation for their actions.

يَحلِفونَ لَكُم لِتَرضَوا عَنهُم ۖ فَإِن تَرضَوا عَنهُم فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَرضىٰ عَنِ القَومِ الفاسِقينَ

They swear to you to gain your approval, but even if you approve of them, God doesn’t approve of the sinful people.

الأَعرابُ أَشَدُّ كُفرًا وَنِفاقًا وَأَجدَرُ أَلّا يَعلَموا حُدودَ ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ رَسولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

The Desert Arabs are the staunchest in disbelief and hypocrisy, and least likely to know the boundaries that God revealed to His Messenger. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

وَمِنَ الأَعرابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ ما يُنفِقُ مَغرَمًا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوائِرَ ۚ عَلَيهِم دائِرَةُ السَّوءِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

Among the Desert Arabs, some consider what they spend as a loss, and they await misfortunes to befall you. Yet, they will be afflicted by misfortunes. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
