S:  And most surely of the followers of the Book there are those who believe in Allah and (in) that which has been revealed to you and (in) that which has been revealed to them, being lowly before Allah; they do not take a small price for the communications of Allah; these it is that have their reward with their Lord; surely Allah is quick in reckoning.

003.200 Y:  O ye who believe!  Persevere in patience and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah; that ye may prosper.

P:  O ye who believe!  Endure, outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that ye may succeed.

S:  O you who believe! be patient and excel in patience and remain steadfast, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, that you may be successful.

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

004.001 Y:  O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you):  for Allah ever watches over you.

P:  O mankind!  Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women.  Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you).  Lo!  Allah hath been a watcher over you.

S:  O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.

004.002 Y:  To orphans restore their property (When they reach their age), nor substitute (your) worthless things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by mixing it up) with your won.  For this is indeed a great sin.

P:  Give unto orphans their wealth.  Exchange not the good for the bad (in your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own wealth.  Lo! that would be a great sin.

S:  And give to the orphans their property, and do not substitute worthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devour their property (as an addition) to your own property; this is surely a great crime.

004.003 Y:  If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
