      This is a portion of the entire surah.  View more context, or the entire surah.

Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  take  your  precaution  and  [either]  go  forth  in  companies  or  go forth  all  together.
Sahih International
And  indeed,  there  is  among  you  he  who  lingers  behind;  and  if  disaster  strikes  you,  he says,  " Allah has  favored  me  in  that  I  was  not  present  with  them."
Sahih International
But  if  bounty  comes  to  you  from Allah ,  he  will  surely  say,  as  if  there  had  never  been between  you  and  him  any  affection.  "Oh,  I  wish  I  had  been  with  them  so  I  could  have attained  a  great  attainment."
Sahih International
So  let  those  fight  in  the  cause  of Allah who  sell  the  life  of  this  world  for  the  Hereafter. And  he  who  fights  in  the  cause  of Allah and  is  killed  or  achieves  victory  -   We  will bestow  upon  him  a  great  reward.
Sahih International
And  what  is  [the  matter]  with  you  that  you  fight  not  in  the  cause  of Allah and  [for]  the oppressed  among  men,  women,  and  children  who  say,  "Our  Lord,  take  us  out  of  this city  of  oppressive  people  and  appoint  for  us  from  Yourself  a  protector  and  appoint  for us  from  Yourself  a  helper?"
Sahih International
Those  who  believe  fight  in  the  cause  of Allah ,  and  those  who  disbelieve  fight  in  the cause  of  Taghut.  So  fight  against  the  allies  of  Satan.  Indeed,  the  plot  of  Satan  has  ever been  weak.
Sahih International
Have  you  not  seen  those  who  were  told,  "Restrain  your  hands  [from  fighting]  and establish  prayer  and  give  zakah"?  But  then  when  fighting  was  ordained  for  them,  at once  a  party  of  them  feared  men  as  they  fear Allah or  with  [even]  greater  fear.  They said,  "Our  Lord,  why  have  You  decreed  upon  us  fighting?  If  only  You  had  postponed  [it for]  us  for  a  short  time."  Say,  The  enjoyment  of  this  world  is  little,  and  the  Hereafter  is better  for  he  who  fears Allah .  And  injustice  will  not  be  done  to  you,  [even]  as  much  as a  thread  [inside  a  date  seed]."
Sahih International
Wherever  you  may  be,  death  will  overtake  you,  even  if  you  should  be  within  towers  of lofty  construction.  But  if  good  comes  to  them,  they  say,  "This  is  from Allah ";  and  if  evil befalls  them,  they  say,  "This  is  from  you."  Say,  "All  [things]  are  from Allah ."  So  what  is [the  matter]  with  those  people  that  they  can  hardly  understand  any  statement?
Sahih International
What  comes  to  you  of  good  is  from Allah ,  but  what  comes  to  you  of  evil,  [O  man],  is from  yourself.  And  We  have  sent  you,  [O  Muhammad],  to  the  people  as  a  messenger, and  sufficient  is Allah as  Witness.
Sahih International
He  who  obeys  the  Messenger  has  obeyed Allah ;  but  those  who  turn  away  -   We  have not  sent  you  over  them  as  a  guardian.
Sahih International
And  they  say,  "[We  pledge]  obedience."  But  when  they  leave  you,  a  group  of  them spend  the  night  determining  to  do  other  than  what  you  say.  But Allah records  what they  plan  by  night.  So  leave  them  alone  and  rely  upon Allah .  And  sufficient  is Allah as Disposer  of  affairs.
Sahih International
Then  do  they  not  reflect  upon  the  Qur'an?  If  it  had  been  from  [any]  other  than Allah , they  would  have  found  within  it  much  contradiction.
Sahih International
And  when  there  comes  to  them  information  about  [public]  security  or  fear,  they  spread it  around.  But  if  they  had  referred  it  back  to  the  Messenger  or  to  those  of  authority among  them,  then  the  ones  who  [can]  draw  correct  conclusions  from  it  would  have known  about  it.  And  if  not  for  the  favor  of Allah upon  you  and  His  mercy,  you  would have  followed  Satan,  except  for  a  few.
Sahih International
So  fight,  [O  Muhammad],  in  the  cause  of Allah ;  you  are  not  held  responsible  except  for yourself.  And  encourage  the  believers  [to  join  you]  that  perhaps Allah will  restrain  the [military]  might  of  those  who  disbelieve.  And Allah is  greater  in  might  and  stronger  in [exemplary]  punishment.
Sahih International
Whoever  intercedes  for  a  good  cause  will  have  a  reward  therefrom;  and  whoever intercedes  for  an  evil  cause  will  have  a  burden  therefrom.  And  ever  is Allah ,  over  all things,  a  Keeper.
Sahih International
And  when  you  are  greeted  with  a  greeting,  greet  [in  return]  with  one  better  than  it  or [at  least]  return  it  [in  a  like  manner].  Indeed, Allah is  ever,  over  all  things,  an Accountant.
Sahih International
Allah -   there  is  no  deity  except  Him.  He  will  surely  assemble  you  for  [account  on]  the Day  of  Resurrection,  about  which  there  is  no  doubt.  And  who  is  more  truthful  than Allah in  statement.
Sahih International
What  is  [the  matter]  with  you  [that  you  are]  two  groups  concerning  the  hypocrites, while Allah has  made  them  fall  back  [into  error  and  disbelief]  for  what  they  earned.  Do you  wish  to  guide  those  whom Allah has  sent  astray?  And  he  whom Allah sends  astray -   never  will  you  find  for  him  a  way  [of  guidance].
Sahih International
They  wish  you  would  disbelieve  as  they  disbelieved  so  you  would  be  alike.  So  do  not take  from  among  them  allies  until  they  emigrate  for  the  cause  of Allah .  But  if  they  turn away,  then  seize  them  and  kill  them  wherever  you  find  them  and  take  not  from  among them  any  ally  or  helper.
Sahih International
Except  for  those  who  take  refuge  with  a  people  between  yourselves  and  whom  is  a treaty  or  those  who  come  to  you,  their  hearts  strained  at  [the  prospect  of]  fighting  you or  fighting  their  own  people.  And  if Allah had  willed,  He  could  have  given  them  power over  you,  and  they  would  have  fought  you.  So  if  they  remove  themselves  from  you  and do  not  fight  you  and  offer  you  peace,  then Allah has  not  made  for  you  a  cause  [for fighting]  against  them.
Sahih International
You  will  find  others  who  wish  to  obtain  security  from  you  and  [to]  obtain  security  from their  people.  Every  time  they  are  returned  to  [the  influence  of]  disbelief,  they  fall  back into  it.  So  if  they  do  not  withdraw  from  you  or  offer  you  peace  or  restrain  their  hands, then  seize  them  and  kill  them  wherever  you  overtake  them.  And  those  -  We  have  made for  you  against  them  a  clear  authorization.
Sahih International
And  never  is  it  for  a  believer  to  kill  a  believer  except  by  mistake.  And  whoever  kills  a believer  by  mistake  -   then  the  freeing  of  a  believing  slave  and  a  compensation  payment presented  to  the  deceased's  family  [is  required]  unless  they  give  [up  their  right  as] charity.  But  if  the  deceased  was  from  a  people  at  war  with  you  and  he  was  a  believer  - then  [only]  the  freeing  of  a  believing  slave;  and  if  he  was  from  a  people  with  whom  you have  a  treaty  -   then  a  compensation  payment  presented  to  his  family  and  the  freeing of  a  believing  slave.  And  whoever  does  not  find  [one  or  cannot  afford  to  buy  one]  -   then [instead],  a  fast  for  two  months  consecutively,  [seeking]  acceptance  of  repentance  from Allah .  And Allah is  ever  Knowing  and  Wise.
Sahih International
But  whoever  kills  a  believer  intentionally  -   his  recompense  is  Hell,  wherein  he  will abide  eternally,  and Allah has  become  angry  with  him  and  has  cursed  him  and  has prepared  for  him  a  great  punishment.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  when  you  go  forth  [to  fight]  in  the  cause  of Allah ,  investigate; and  do  not  say  to  one  who  gives  you  [a  greeting  of]  peace  "You  are  not  a  believer," aspiring  for  the  goods  of  worldly  life;  for  with Allah are  many  acquisitions.  You [yourselves]  were  like  that  before;  then Allah conferred  His  favor  upon  you,  so investigate.  Indeed Allah is  ever,  with  what  you  do,  Acquainted.
Sahih International
Not  equal  are  those  believers  remaining  [at  home]  -   other  than  the  disabled  -   and  the mujahideen,  [who  strive  and  fight]  in  the  cause  of Allah with  their  wealth  and  their lives. Allah has  preferred  the  mujahideen  through  their  wealth  and  their  lives  over those  who  remain  [behind],  by  degrees.  And  to  both Allah has  promised  the  best [reward].  But Allah has  preferred  the  mujahideen  over  those  who  remain  [behind]  with a  great  reward  -
Sahih International
Degrees  [of  high  position]  from  Him  and  forgiveness  and  mercy.  And Allah is  ever Forgiving  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  whom  the  angels  take  [in  death]  while  wronging  themselves  -   [the angels]  will  say,  "In  what  [condition]  were  you?"  They  will  say,  "We  were  oppressed  in the  land."  The  angels  will  say,  "Was  not  the  earth  of Allah spacious  [enough]  for  you  to emigrate  therein?"  For  those,  their  refuge  is  Hell  -   and  evil  it  is  as  a  destination.
Sahih International
Except  for  the  oppressed  among  men,  women  and  children  who  cannot  devise  a  plan nor  are  they  directed  to  a  way  -
Sahih International
For  those  it  is  expected  that Allah will  pardon  them,  and Allah is  ever  Pardoning  and Forgiving.
Sahih International
And  whoever  emigrates  for  the  cause  of Allah will  find  on  the  earth  many  [alternative] locations  and  abundance.  And  whoever  leaves  his  home  as  an  emigrant  to Allah and His  Messenger  and  then  death  overtakes  him  -   his  reward  has  already  become incumbent  upon Allah .  And Allah is  ever  Forgiving  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
And  when  you  travel  throughout  the  land,  there  is  no  blame  upon  you  for  shortening the  prayer,  [especially]  if  you  fear  that  those  who  disbelieve  may  disrupt  [or  attack] you.  Indeed,  the  disbelievers  are  ever  to  you  a  clear  enemy.
Sahih International
And  when  you  are  among  them  and  lead  them  in  prayer,  let  a  group  of  them  stand  [in prayer]  with  you  and  let  them  carry  their  arms.  And  when  they  have  prostrated,  let them  be  [in  position]  behind  you  and  have  the  other  group  come  forward  which  has not  [yet]  prayed  and  let  them  pray  with  you,  taking  precaution  and  carrying  their arms.  Those  who  disbelieve  wish  that  you  would  neglect  your  weapons  and  your baggage  so  they  could  come  down  upon  you  in  one  [single]  attack.  But  there  is  no blame  upon  you,  if  you  are  troubled  by  rain  or  are  ill,  for  putting  down  your  arms,  but take  precaution.  Indeed, Allah has  prepared  for  the  disbelievers  a  humiliating punishment.
Sahih International
And  when  you  have  completed  the  prayer,  remember Allah standing,  sitting,  or  [lying] on  your  sides.  But  when  you  become  secure,  re-establish  [regular]  prayer.  Indeed, prayer  has  been  decreed  upon  the  believers  a  decree  of  specified  times.
Sahih International
And  do  not  weaken  in  pursuit  of  the  enemy.  If  you  should  be  suffering  -   so  are  they suffering  as  you  are  suffering,  but  you  expect  from Allah that  which  they  expect  not. And Allah is  ever  Knowing  and  Wise.
Sahih International
Indeed,  We  have  revealed  to  you,  [O  Muhammad],  the  Book  in  truth  so  you  may  judge between  the  people  by  that  which Allah has  shown  you.  And  do  not  be  for  the  deceitful an  advocate.
Sahih International
And  seek  forgiveness  of Allah .  Indeed, Allah is  ever  Forgiving  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
And  do  not  argue  on  behalf  of  those  who  deceive  themselves.  Indeed, Allah loves  not one  who  is  a  habitually  sinful  deceiver.
Sahih International
They  conceal  [their  evil  intentions  and  deeds]  from  the  people,  but  they  cannot  conceal [them]  from Allah ,  and  He  is  with  them  [in  His  knowledge]  when  they  spend  the  night in  such  as  He  does  not  accept  of  speech.  And  ever  is Allah ,  of  what  they  do, encompassing.
Sahih International
Here  you  are  -   those  who  argue  on  their  behalf  in  [this]  worldly  life  -   but  who  will argue  with Allah for  them  on  the  Day  of  Resurrection,  or  who  will  [then]  be  their representative?
Sahih International
And  whoever  does  a  wrong  or  wrongs  himself  but  then  seeks  forgiveness  of Allah will find Allah Forgiving  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
And  whoever  commits  a  sin  only  earns  it  against  himself.  And Allah is  ever  Knowing and  Wise.
Sahih International
But  whoever  earns  an  offense  or  a  sin  and  then  blames  it  on  an  innocent  [person]  has taken  upon  himself  a  slander  and  manifest  sin.
Sahih International
And  if  it  was  not  for  the  favor  of Allah upon  you,  [O  Muhammad],  and  His  mercy,  a group  of  them  would  have  determined  to  mislead  you.  But  they  do  not  mislead  except themselves,  and  they  will  not  harm  you  at  all.  And Allah has  revealed  to  you  the  Book and  wisdom  and  has  taught  you  that  which  you  did  not  know.  And  ever  has  the  favor of Allah upon  you  been  great.
