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.

وَالسّابِقونَ الأَوَّلونَ مِنَ المُهاجِرينَ وَالأَنصارِ وَالَّذينَ اتَّبَعوهُم بِإِحسانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم وَرَضوا عَنهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري تَحتَهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

The pioneers—the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers—and those who followed them in goodness: God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. He prepared for them Gardens through which rivers flow, where they will dwell forever. This is the supreme achievement.

وَمِمَّن حَولَكُم مِنَ الأَعرابِ مُنافِقونَ ۖ وَمِن أَهلِ المَدينَةِ ۖ مَرَدوا عَلَى النِّفاقِ لا تَعلَمُهُم ۖ نَحنُ نَعلَمُهُم ۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَرَّتَينِ ثُمَّ يُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عَذابٍ عَظيمٍ

Among the Desert Arabs around you, some are hypocrites, as well as among the city dwellers. They are persistent in hypocrisy. You don’t know them, but We certainly do. We will punish them twice; then they will be returned to a severe punishment.

وَآخَرونَ اعتَرَفوا بِذُنوبِهِم خَلَطوا عَمَلًا صالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَتوبَ عَلَيهِم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

And there are those who admit their sins, and they have mixed a righteous deed with another that was bad. Perhaps God will relent towards them. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

خُذ مِن أَموالِهِم صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُم وَتُزَكّيهِم بِها وَصَلِّ عَلَيهِم ۖ إِنَّ صَلاتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

Receive from their wealth a charity to purify and cleanse them, and pray for them. Your prayers bring them tranquility. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

أَلَم يَعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقبَلُ التَّوبَةَ عَن عِبادِهِ وَيَأخُذُ الصَّدَقاتِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ

Don’t they know that it is God who accepts repentance from His beings and receives charities, and that it is God who is the Acceptor of repentance and the Merciful?
