P:  Whoso obeyeth the messenger hath obeyed Allah, and whoso turneth away:  We have not sent thee as a warder over them.

S:  Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them.

004.081 Y:  They have “Obedience” on their lips; but when they leave thee, a section of them Meditate all night on things very different from what thou tellest them.  But Allah records their nightly (plots):  So keep clear of them, and put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

P:  And they say:  (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou sayest.  Allah recordeth what they plan by night.  So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah.  Allah is sufficient as Trustee.

S:  And they say:  Obedience.  But when they go out from your presence, a party of them decide by night upon doing otherwise than what you say; and Allah writes down what they decide by night, therefore turn aside from them and trust in Allah, and Allah is sufficient as a protector.

004.082 Y:  Do they not consider the Qur’an (with care)?  Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.

P:  Will they not then ponder on the Qur’an?  If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.

S:  Do they not then meditate on the Quran?  And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy.

004.083 Y:  When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it.  If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct).  Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.

P:  And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto them, they noise it abroad, whereas if they had referred it to the messenger and to such of them as are in authority, those among them who are able to think out the matter would have known it.  If it had not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy ye would have followed Satan, save a few (of you).

S:  And when there comes to them news of security or fear they spread it abroad; and if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those among them who can search out the knowledge of it would have known it, and were it not for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have certainly followed the Shaitan save a few.

004.084 Y:  Then fight in Allah’s cause — Thou art held responsible only for thyself — and rouse the believers.  It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.
