S:  O you who believe!  What (excuse) have you that when it is said to you:  Go forth in Allah’s way, you should incline heavily to earth; are you contented with this world’s life instead of the hereafter?  But the provision of this world’s life compared with the hereafter is but little.

009.039 Y:  Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.  For Allah hath power over all things.

P:  If ye go not forth He will afflict you with a painful doom, and will choose instead of you a folk other than you.  Ye cannot harm Him at all.  Allah is Able to do all things.

S:  If you do not go forth, He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you, and you will do Him no harm; and Allah has power over all things.

009.040 Y:  If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter):  for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out:  he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, “Have no fear, for Allah is with us”:  then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers.  But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights:  for Allah is Exalted in Might, Wise.

P:  If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade:  Grieve not.  Lo!  Allah is with us.  Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the nethermost, while Allah’s Word it was that became the uppermost.  Allah is Mighty, Wise.

S:  If you will not aid him, Allah certainly aided him when those who disbelieved expelled him, he being the second of the two, when they were both in the cave, when he said to his companion:  Grieve not, surely Allah is with us.  So Allah sent down His tranquillity upon him and strengthened him with hosts which you did not see, and made lowest the word of those who disbelieved; and the word of Allah, that is the highest; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

009.041 Y:  Go ye forth, (whether equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your persons, in the cause of Allah.  That is best for you, if ye (but) knew.

P:  Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah!  That is best for you if ye but knew.

S:  Go forth light and heavy, and strive hard in Allah’s way with your property and your persons; this is better for you, if you know.

009.042 Y:  If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them.  They would indeed swear by Allah, “If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you”:  They would destroy their own souls; for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying.
