(He also did this) to chastise the hypocrites, both men and women, and those who associate others in His Divinity, both men and women, and who harbour evil thoughts about Allah.[1] They shall be afflicted with misfortune,[2] Allah is wroth with them. He has laid His curse upon them and has prepared for them Hell. What an evil end!

(O Prophet), the bedouins who were left behind say to you:[1] "We were occupied with our goods and families. So ask forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts.[2] Say to them: “Who can be of any avail to you against Allah if He should intend to cause you any harm or confer upon you any benefit?” Allah is well aware of all that you do.[3]

When you press forth for the spoils, those who were left behind will say: "Let us accompany you."[1] They want to change the command of Allah.[2] Say to them (in clear words): “You shall not accompany us. Thus has Allah already said.”[3] Then they will say: “Nay; but you are jealous of us.” The truth is that they understand little.

Say to the bedouins who were left behind: "You will be called against those who possess great might and be asked to fight against them unless they surrender.[1] If you obey (the command to fight), Allah will bestow upon you a goodly reward. But if you turn away, as you turned away before, He shall inflict upon you a grievous chastisement."

They are the ones who disbelieved and barred you from the Inviolable Mosque and prevented the animals you had designated for sacrifice from reaching the place of their offering.[1] If it had not been for the believing men and believing women (who lived in Makkah and) whom you did not know, and had there not been the fear that you might trample on them and unwittingly incur blame on their account, (then fighting would not have been put to a stop. It was stopped so that) Allah may admit to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. Had those believers been separated from the rest, We would certainly have inflicted a grievous chastise-ment on those of them [i.e. the Makkans) who disbelieved.[2]

(This is why) when the unbelievers set in their hearts a fierce bigotry — the bigotry of ignorance[1] — Allah bestowed inner peace upon His Messenger and upon the believers[2] and made the word of piety binding on them. They were more deserving and worthier thereof. Allah has knowledge of everything.

Allah indeed showed His Messenger the true vision,[1] one fully in accord with reality. If Allah so wills[2] you shall certainly enter the Inviolable Mosque, in full security,[3] you will shave your heads and cut your hair short,[4] and do so without any fear. He knew what you did not know, and He granted you a victory near at hand even before (the fulfilment of the vision).

Muhammad is Allah's Messenger, and those who are with him are firm with the unbelievers[1] but compassionate with one another.[2] You see them occupied in bowing and prostrating and in seeking Allah's bounty and good pleasure. They are distinguished[3] from others by the marks of prostration on their faces. Thus are they described in the Torah.[4] And their parable in the Gospel is that of[5] a tilth that puts forth its shoot, then strengthens it so that it becomes stout and stands firmly on its stem. This is a sight pleasing to the sowers and one by which the unbelievers will be enraged. As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, Allah has promised them forgiveness and a great reward.[6]
