P:  He it is Who hath caused those of the People of the Scripture who disbelieved to go forth from their homes unto the first exile.  Ye deemed not that they would go forth, while they deemed that their strongholds would protect them from Allah.  But Allah reached them from a place whereof they reckoned not, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers.  So learn a lesson, O ye who have eyes!

S:  He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of the followers of the Book to go forth from their homes at the first banishment you did not think that they would go forth, while they were certain that their fortresses would defend them against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they did not expect, and cast terror into their hearts; they demolished their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers; therefore take a lesson, O you who have eyes!

059.003 Y:  And had it not been that Allah had decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world:  And in the Hereafter they shall (certainly) have the Punishment of the Fire.

P:  And if Allah had not decreed migration for them, He verily would have punished them in the world, and theirs in the Hereafter is the punishment of the Fire.

S:  And had it not been that Allah had decreed for them the exile, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have chastisement of the fire.

059.004 Y:  That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger:  and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment.

P:  That is because they were opposed to Allah and His messenger; and whoso is opposed to Allah, (for him) verily Allah is stern in reprisal.

S:  That is because they acted in opposition to Allah and His Messenger, and whoever acts in opposition to Allah, then surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil).

059.005 Y:  Whether ye cut down (O ye Muslim!) The tender palm-trees, or ye left them standing on their roots, it was by leave of Allah, and in order that He might cover with shame the rebellious transgresses.

P:  Whatsoever palm-trees ye cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by Allah’s leave, in order that He might confound the evil-livers.

S:  Whatever palm-tree you cut down or leave standing upon its roots, It is by Allah’s command, and that He may abase the transgressors.

059.006 Y:  What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from them — for this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry:  but Allah gives power to His messengers over any He pleases:  and Allah has power over all things.

P:  And that which Allah gave as spoil unto His messenger from them, ye urged not any horse or riding-camel for the sake thereof, but Allah giveth His messenger lordship over whom He will.  Allah is Able to do all things.
