S:  And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu’aib.  He said:  O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; clear proof indeed has come to you from your Lord, therefore give full measure and weight and do not diminish to men their things, and do not make mischief in the land after its reform; this is better for you if you are believers: 

007.086 Y:  “And squat not on every road, breathing threats, hindering from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking in it something crooked; But remember how ye were little, and He gave you increase.  And hold in your mind’s eye what was the end of those who did mischief.”

P:  Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers), and to turn away from Allah’s path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked.  And remember, when ye were but few, how He did multiply you.  And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!

S:  And do not lie in wait in every path, threatening and turning away from Allah’s way him who believes in Him and seeking to make it crooked; and remember when you were few then He multiplied you, and consider what was the end of the mischief-makers.

007.087 Y:  “And if there is a party among you who believes in the message with which I have been sent, and a party which does not believe, hold yourselves in patience until Allah doth decide between us:  for He is the best to decide.”

P:  And if there is a party of you which believeth in that wherewith I have been sent, and there is a party which believeth not, then have patience until Allah judge between us.  He is the Best of all who deal in judgment.

S:  And if there is a party of you who believe in that with which am sent, and another party who do not believe, then wait patiently until Allah judges between us; and He is the best of the Judges.

007.088 Y:  The leaders, the arrogant party among his people, said:  “O Shu’aib! we shall certainly drive thee out of our city — (thee) and those who believe with thee; or else ye (thou and they) shall have to return to our ways and religion.”  He said:  “What! even though we do detest (them)?”

P:  The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said:  Surely we will drive thee out, O Shu’eyb, and those who believe with thee, from our township, unless ye return to our religion.  He said:  Even though we hate it?

S:  The chiefs, those who were proud from among his people said:  We will most certainly turn you out, O Shu’aib, and (also) those who believe with you, from our town, or you shall come back to our faith.  He said:  What! though we dislike (it)?

007.089 Y:  “We should indeed invent a lie against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of Allah, Our Lord.  Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge.  In Allah is our trust.  Our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide.”
