← Surah 3

3:156

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقَالُوا۟ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ إِذَا ضَرَبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ كَانُوا۟ غُزًّى لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ عِندَنَا مَا مَاتُوا۟ وَمَا قُتِلُوا۟ لِيَجْعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

Translation

EN

O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are travelling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: "If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain." This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye do.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

You who believe, do not be like those who disbelieved and said of their brothers who went out on a journey or a raid, ‘If only they had stayed with us they would not have died or been killed,’ for God will make such thoughts a source of anguish in their hearts. It is God who gives life and death; God sees everything you do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

O ye who believe! Be not as those who disbelieved and said of their brethren who went abroad in the land or were fighting in the field: If they had been (here) with us they would not have died or been killed: that Allah may make it anguish in their hearts. Allah giveth life and causeth death; and Allah is Seer of what ye do.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allāh makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allāh who gives life and causes death, and Allāh is Seeing of what you do.

Ey İnananlar! Yolculuğa çıkan veya savaşa giden kardeşleri hakkında: "Onlar yanımızda olsalardı ölmezler ve öldürülmezlerdi" diyen inkarcılar gibi olmayın ki, Allah bunu onların kalblerinde bir hasret olarak bıraksın. Dirilten de öldüren de Allah'tır. Allah işlediklerinizi görür.

Ey iman edenler! Sizler inkâr edenler ve yeryüzünde sefere veya savaşa çıkan kardeşleri için: "Eğer bizim yanımızda olsalardı ölmezlerdi ve öldürülmezlerdi." diyenler gibi olmayın. Allah bunu, onların kalplerine bir hasret (yarası) olarak koydu. Allah, diriltir ve öldürür. Allah yaptıklarınızı görmektedir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Ey iman edenler! kâfir olanlar ve yeryüzünde sefere çıkan veya savaşan kardeşleri hakkında “Bizim yanımızda olsalardı ölmezlerdi ve öldürülmezlerdi.” diyenler gibi olmayın! Sonunda Allah bunu onların kalplerinde bir pişmanlık kılacaktır. Allah diriltir (hayat verir) ve öldürür. Allah yaptıklarınızı görendir.

يا أيها الذين صدَّقوا الله ورسوله وعملوا بشرعه، لا تُشابهوا الكافرين الذين لا يؤمنون بربهم، فهم يقولون لإخوانهم من أهل الكفر إذا خرجوا يبحثون في أرض الله عن معاشهم أو كانوا مع الغزاة المقاتلين فماتوا أو قُتِلوا: لو لم يخرج هؤلاء ولم يقاتلوا وأقاموا معنا ما ماتوا وما قُتلوا. وهذا القول يزيدهم ألمًا وحزنًا وحسرة تستقر في قلوبهم، أما المؤمنون فإنهم يعلمون أن ذلك بقدر الله فيهدي الله قلوبهم، ويخفف عنهم المصيبة، والله يحيي مَن قدَّر له الحياة -وإن كان مسافرًا أو غازيًا- ويميت مَنِ انتهى أجله -وإن كان مقيمًا- والله بكل ما تعملونه بصير، فيجازيكم به.
