They ask you about the windfalls. Say: The windfalls are for Allah and the Apostle. So be careful of (your duty to) Allah and set aright matters of your difference, and obey Allah and His Apostle if you are believers.
Arabic
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يسألونك عن الأنفال ۖ قل الأنفال لله والرسول ۖ فاتقوا الله وأصلحوا ذات بينكم ۖ وأطيعوا الله ورسوله إن كنتم مؤمنين
Those only are believers whose hearts become full of fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His communications are recited to them they increase them in faith, and in their Lord do they trust.

إذ يغشيكم النعاس أمنة منه وينزل عليكم من السماء ماء ليطهركم به ويذهب عنكم رجز الشيطان وليربط على قلوبكم ويثبت به الأقدام
When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Apostle; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Apostle - - then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
Arabic
ذلك بأنهم شاقوا الله ورسوله ۚ ومن يشاقق الله ورسوله فإن الله شديد العقاب
And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day - - unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company - - then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
Arabic
ومن يولهم يومئذ دبره إلا متحرفا لقتال أو متحيزا إلى فئة فقد باء بغضب من الله ومأواه جهنم ۖ وبئس المصير
So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Arabic
فلم تقتلوهم ولكن الله قتلهم ۚ وما رميت إذ رميت ولكن الله رمى ۚ وليبلي المؤمنين منه بلاء حسنا ۚ إن الله سميع عليم
If you demanded a judgment, the judgment has then indeed come to you; and if you desist, it will be better for you; and if you turn back (to fight), We (too) shall turn back, and your forces shall avail you nothing, though they may be many, and (know) that Allah is with the believers.

Arabic
وإذا تتلى عليهم آياتنا قالوا قد سمعنا لو نشاء لقلنا مثل هذا ۙ إن هذا إلا أساطير الأولين
And what (excuse) have they that Allah should not chastise them while they hinder (men) from the Sacred Mosque and they are not (fit to be) guardians of it; its guardians are only those who guard (against evil), but most of them do not know.
Arabic
وما لهم ألا يعذبهم الله وهم يصدون عن المسجد الحرام وما كانوا أولياءه ۚ إن أولياؤه إلا المتقون ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Surely those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (people) from the way of Allah; so they shall spend it, then it shall be to them an intense regret, then they shall be overcome; and those who disbelieve shall be driven together to hell.

إن الذين كفروا ينفقون أموالهم ليصدوا عن سبيل الله ۚ فسينفقونها ثم تكون عليهم حسرة ثم يغلبون ۗ والذين كفروا إلى جهنم يحشرون
That Allah might separate the impure from the good, and put the impure, some of it upon the other, and pile it up together, then cast it into hell; these it is that are the losers.

ليميز الله الخبيث من الطيب ويجعل الخبيث بعضه على بعض فيركمه جميعا فيجعله في جهنم ۚ أولئك هم الخاسرون
Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the ancients has already passed.
Arabic
قل للذين كفروا إن ينتهوا يغفر لهم ما قد سلف وإن يعودوا فقد مضت سنت الأولين
And know that whatever thing you gain, a fifth of it is for Allah and for the Apostle and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in Allah and in that which We revealed to Our servant, on the day of distinction, the day on which the two parties met; and Allah has power over all things.
Arabic
۞ واعلموا أنما غنمتم من شيء فأن لله خمسه وللرسول ولذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل إن كنتم آمنتم بالله وما أنزلنا على عبدنا يوم الفرقان يوم التقى الجمعان ۗ والله على كل شيء قدير
When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and they were on the farthest side, while the caravan was in a lower place than you; and if you had mutually made an appointment, you would certainly have broken away from the appointment, but - - in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, that he who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might live by clear proof; and most surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
Arabic
إذ أنتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب أسفل منكم ۚ ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ۙ ولكن ليقضي الله أمرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة ۗ وإن الله لسميع عليم

And when the Shaitan made their works fair seeming to them, and said: No one can overcome you this day, and surely I am your protector: but when the two parties came in sight of each other he turned upon his heels, and said: Surely I am clear of you, surely I see what you do not see, surely I fear Allah; and Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
Arabic
وإذ زين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم وقال لا غالب لكم اليوم من الناس وإني جار لكم ۖ فلما تراءت الفئتان نكص على عقبيه وقال إني بريء منكم إني أرى ما لا ترون إني أخاف الله ۚ والله شديد العقاب

ولو ترى إذ يتوفى الذين كفروا ۙ الملائكة يضربون وجوههم وأدبارهم وذوقوا عذاب الحريق
In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they disbelieved in Allah's communications, therefore Allah destroyed them on account of their faults; surely Allah is strong, severe in requiting (evil).
Arabic
كدأب آل فرعون ۙ والذين من قبلهم ۚ كفروا بآيات الله فأخذهم الله بذنوبهم ۗ إن الله قوي شديد العقاب
This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and because Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
Arabic
ذلك بأن الله لم يك مغيرا نعمة أنعمها على قوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم ۙ وأن الله سميع عليم
In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they rejected the communications of their Lord, therefore We destroyed them on account of their faults and We drowned Firon's people, and they were all unjust.

Arabic

And united their hearts; had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah united them; surely He is Mighty, Wise.
Arabic
وألف بين قلوبهم ۚ لو أنفقت ما في الأرض جميعا ما ألفت بين قلوبهم ولكن الله ألف بينهم ۚ إنه عزيز حكيم
O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.
Arabic
يا أيها النبي حرض المؤمنين على القتال ۚ إن يكن منكم عشرون صابرون يغلبوا مائتين ۚ وإن يكن منكم مائة يغلبوا ألفا من الذين كفروا بأنهم قوم لا يفقهون
For the present Allah has made light your burden, and He knows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundred patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall overcome two thousand by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.
Arabic
الآن خفف الله عنكم وعلم أن فيكم ضعفا ۚ فإن يكن منكم مائة صابرة يغلبوا مائتين ۚ وإن يكن منكم ألف يغلبوا ألفين بإذن الله ۗ والله مع الصابرين
It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods of this world, while Allah desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Arabic
ما كان لنبي أن يكون له أسرى حتى يثخن في الأرض ۚ تريدون عرض الدنيا والله يريد الآخرة ۗ والله عزيز حكيم
Were it not for an ordinance from Allah that had already gone forth, surely there would have befallen you a great chastisement for what you had taken to.
O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

يا أيها النبي قل لمن في أيديكم من الأسرى إن يعلم الله في قلوبكم خيرا يؤتكم خيرا مما أخذ منكم ويغفر لكم ۗ والله غفور رحيم
And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed they acted unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He gave (you) mastery over them; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
Arabic
وإن يريدوا خيانتك فقد خانوا الله من قبل فأمكن منهم ۗ والله عليم حكيم
Surely those who believed and fled (their homes) and struggled hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls, and those who gave shelter and helped - - these are guardians of each other; and (as for) those who believed and did not fly, not yours is their guardianship until they fly; and if they seek aid from you in the matter of religion, aid is incumbent on you except against a people between whom and you there is a treaty, and Allah sees what you do.
Arabic
إن الذين آمنوا وهاجروا وجاهدوا بأموالهم وأنفسهم في سبيل الله والذين آووا ونصروا أولئك بعضهم أولياء بعض ۚ والذين آمنوا ولم يهاجروا ما لكم من ولايتهم من شيء حتى يهاجروا ۚ وإن استنصروكم في الدين فعليكم النصر إلا على قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثاق ۗ والله بما تعملون بصير
And (as for) those who disbelieve, some of them are the guardians of others; if you will not do it, there will be in the land persecution and great mischief.
