004.094 Y:  O ye who believe!  When ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation:  “Thou art none of a believer!” Coveting the perishable goods of this life:  with Allah are profits and spoils abundant.  Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours:  Therefore carefully investigate.  For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.

P:  O ye who believe!  When ye go forth (to fight) in the way of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offereth you peace:  “Thou art not a believer,” seeking the chance profits of this life (so that ye may despoil him).  With Allah are plenteous spoils.  Even thus (as he now is) were ye before; but Allah hath since then been gracious unto you.  Therefore take care to discriminate.  Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.

S:  O you who believe! when you go to war in Allah’s way, make investigation, and do not say to any one who offers you peace:  You are not a believer.  Do you seek goods of this world’s life!  But with Allah there are abundant gains; you too were such before, then Allah conferred a benefit on you; therefore make investigation; surely Allah is aware of what you do.

004.095 Y:  Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons.  Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home).  Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good:  But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-

P:  Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, are not on an equality with those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives.  Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary.  Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He hath bestowed on those who strive a great reward above the sedentary;

S:  The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah’s way with their property and their persons are not equal; Allah has made the strivers with their property and their persons to excel the holders back a (high) degree, and to each (class) Allah has promised good; and Allah shall grant to the strivers above the holders back a mighty reward: 

004.096 Y:  Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy.  For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

P:  Degrees of rank from Him, and forgiveness and mercy.  Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

S:  (High) degrees from Him and protection and mercy, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

004.097 Y:  When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say:  “In what (plight) Were ye?” They reply:  “Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth.”  They say:  “Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?” Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! —
