S:  Is then he who follows the pleasure of Allah like him who has made himself deserving of displeasure from Allah, and his abode is hell; and it is an evil destination.

003.163 Y:  They are in varying gardens in the sight of Allah, and Allah sees well all that they do.

P:  There are degrees (of grace and reprobation) with Allah, and Allah is Seer of what they do.

S:  There are (varying) grades with Allah, and Allah sees what they do.

003.164 Y:  Allah did confer a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a messenger from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, sanctifying them, and instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while, before that, they had been in manifest error.

P:  Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers by sending unto them a messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His revelations, and causeth them to grow, and teacheth them the Scripture and wisdom; although before (he came to them) they were in flagrant error.

S:  Certainly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers when He raised among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His communications and purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the wisdom, although before that they were surely in manifest error.

003.165 Y:  What!  When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- “Whence is this?” Say (to them):  “It is from yourselves:  For Allah hath power over all things.”

P:  And was it so, when a disaster smote you, though ye had smitten (them with a disaster) twice (as great), that ye said:  How is this?  Say (unto them, O Muhammad):  It is from yourselves.  Lo!  Allah is Able to do all things.

S:  What! when a misfortune befell you, and you had certainly afflicted (the unbelievers) with twice as much, you began to say:  Whence is this?  Say:  It is from yourselves; surely Allah has power over all things.

003.166 Y:  What ye suffered on the day the two armies Met, was with the leave of Allah, in order that He might test the believers,-

P:  That which befell you, on the day when the two armies met, was by permission of Allah; that He might know the true believers;

S:  And what befell you on the day when the two armies met (at Ohud) was with Allah’s knowledge, and that He might know the believers.

003.167 Y:  And the Hypocrites also.  These were told:  “Come, fight in the way of Allah, or (at least) drive (The foe from your city).”  They said:  “Had we known how to fight, we should certainly have followed you.”  They were that day nearer to Unbelief than to Faith, saying with their lips what was not in their hearts but Allah hath full knowledge of all they conceal.

P:  And that He might know the hypocrites, unto whom it was said:  Come, fight in the way of Allah, or defend yourselves.  They answered:  If we knew aught of fighting we would follow you.  On that day they were nearer disbelief than faith.  They utter with their mouths a thing which is not in their hearts.  Allah is Best Aware of what they hide.
