4:77

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

[Prophet], do you not see those who were told, ‘Restrain yourselves from fighting, perform the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms’? When fighting was ordained for them, some of them feared men as much as, or even more than, they feared God, saying, ‘Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us? If only You would give us just a little more time.’ Say to them, ‘Little is the enjoyment in this world, the Hereafter is far better for those who are mindful of God: you will not be wronged by as much as the fibre in a date stone.

Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish worship and pay the poordue, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged the down upon a date-stone.

Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakāh"? But then when battle was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allāh or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say, "The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allāh. And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."

Kendilerine: "Elinizi savaştan çekin, namaz kılın, zekat verin" denenleri görmedin mi? Onlara savaş farz kılındığında, içlerinden bir takımı hemen, insanlardan, Allah'tan korkar gibi, hatta daha çok korkarlar ve "Rabbimiz! Bize savaşı niçin farz kıldın, bizi yakın bir zamana kadar tehir edemez miydin?" derler. De ki: "Dünya geçimliği azdır, ahiret, Allah'a karşı gelmekten sakınan için hayırlıdır, size zerre kadar zulmedilmez".

Kendilerine, "Ellerinizi savaştan çekin, namazı kılın, zekatı verin" denilenleri görmedin mi? Üzerlerine savaş yazılınca hemen içlerinden bir kısmı insanlardan, Allah'tan korkar gibi, hatta daha çok korkarlar ve "Rabbimiz! Niçin bize savaş yazdın? Ne olurdu bize azıcık bir müddet daha tanımış olsaydın da biraz daha yaşasaydık?" derler. Onlara de ki: "Dünya zevki ne de olsa azdır, ahiret, Allah'a karşı gelmekten sakınan için daha hayırlıdır ve size kıl kadar haksızlık edilmez."

Kendilerine “Ellerinizi (savaştan) çekin; namazı kılın ve zekâtı verin!” denen kişileri görmedin mi? Onlara savaş farz kılınınca, içlerinden bir grup hemen Allah’tan korkar gibi, hatta daha fazla bir korku ile insanlardan korkmaya başladılar da “Rabbimiz! Savaşı bize niçin yazdın! Bizi yakın bir süreye kadar ertelesen olmaz mıydı?” dediler. (Onlara) de ki: “Dünyanın geçimliği (hayatı) azdır; takvâlı (duyarlı) olanlar için ahiret hayırlı olandır. En küçük bir haksızlığa da uğratılmayacaksınız.”

ألم تعلم -أيها الرسول- أمر أولئك الذين قيل لهم قبل الإذن بالجهاد: امنعوا أيديكم عن قتال أعدائكم من المشركين، وعليكم أداء ما فرضه الله عليكم من الصلاة، والزكاة، فلما فرض عليهم القتال إذا جماعة منهم قد تغير حالهم، فأصبحوا يخافون الناس ويرهبونهم، كخوفهم من الله أو أشد، ويعلنون عما اعتراهم من شدة الخوف، فيقولون: ربنا لِمَ أَوْجَبْتَ علينا القتال؟ هلا أمهلتنا إلى وقت قريب، رغبة منهم في متاع الحياة الدنيا، قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: متاع الدنيا قليل، والآخرة وما فيها أعظم وأبقى لمن اتقى، فعمل بما أُمر به، واجتنب ما نُهي عنه.، لا يظلم ربك أحدًا شيئًا، ولو كان مقدار الخيط الذي يكون في شق نَواة التمرة.
