47:4
فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَضَرْبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا۟ ٱلْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّۢا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَٱنتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لِّيَبْلُوَا۟ بَعْضَكُم بِبَعْضٍ ۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ

Translation
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain
When you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike them in the neck, and once they are defeated, bind any captives firmly––later you can release them by grace or by ransom––until the toils of war have ended. That [is the way]. God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others. He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing;
M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.

So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure [their] bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allāh had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allāh - never will He waste their deeds.

Savaşta inkar edenlerle karşılaştığınızda boyunlarını vurun; sonunda onlara üstün geldiğinizde onları esir alın; savaş sona erince onları ya karşılıksız, ya da fidye ile salıverin; Allah dilemiş olsaydı, onlardan başka türlü öç alabilirdi, bunun böyle olması, kiminizi kiminizle denemek içindir. Allah, kendi yolunda öldürülenlerin işlerini boşa çıkarmaz.

Savaşta inkâr edenlerle karşılaştığınız zaman hemen boyunlarını vurun. Nihayet onlara üstün geldiğiniz zaman bağı sıkı bağlayıp esir alın. Sonra harp ağırlıklarını atıp, savaş bitince de onları ya karşılıksız olarak, ya da fidye ile salıverin. Allah'ın emri budur. Eğer Allah dileseydi onlardan başka türlü de intikam alırdı. Fakat böyle olması sizi birbirinizle denemek içindir. Allah yolunda öldürülenlere gelince, Allah onların amellerini asla boşa çıkarmaz.
Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain
(Savaşta) o inkâr edenlerle karşılaştığınız zaman boyun(duruk) vurun! Sonunda onları etkisiz hale getirince bağ(ların)ı sıkıca bağlayın! (Savaş sona erince de) artık ya karşılıksız serbest bırakma (vardır) veya fidye (uygulamak)! İşte böyle; (yapılması gereken bu). Allah dileseydi onları elbette cezalandırırdı. Fakat (bu) sizi birbirinizle denemek içindir. Allah yolunda öldürülenlere gelince, (Allah) onların yaptıklarını asla boşa çıkarmayacaktır.

فإذا لقيتم- أيها المؤمنون- الذين كفروا في ساحات الحرب فاصدقوهم القتال، واضربوا منهم الأعناق، حتى إذا أضعفتموهم بكثرة القتل، وكسرتم شوكتهم، فأحكموا قيد الأسرى: فإما أن تَمُنُّوا عليهم بفك أسرهم بغير عوض، وإما أن يفادوا أنفسهم بالمال أو غيره، وإما أن يُسْتَرَقُّوا أو يُقْتَلوا، واستمِرُّوا على ذلك حتى تنتهي الحرب. ذلك الحكم المذكور في ابتلاء المؤمنين بالكافرين ومداولة الأيام بينهم، ولو يشاء الله لانتصر للمؤمنين من الكافرين بغير قتال، ولكن جعل عقوبتهم على أيديكم، فشرع الجهاد؛ ليختبركم بهم، ولينصر بكم دينه. والذين قُتلوا في سبيل الله من المؤمنين فلن يُبْطِل الله ثواب أعمالهم، سيوفقهم أيام حياتهم في الدنيا إلى طاعته ومرضاته، ويُصْلح حالهم وأمورهم وثوابهم في الدنيا والآخرة، ويدخلهم الجنة، عرَّفهم بها ونعتها لهم، ووفقهم للقيام بما أمرهم به -ومن جملته الشهادة في سبيله-، ثم عرَّفهم إذا دخلوا الجنة منازلهم بها.

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَن يَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَـًٔا ۚ وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا خَطَـًٔا فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ وَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَصَّدَّقُوا۟ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَّكُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍۭ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَـٰقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ ۖ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the blood-money to the family of the slain, unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then the blood-money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.

And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye may seek enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity. And if one force them, then (unto them), after their compulsion, lo! Allah will be Forgiving, Merciful.

Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do.
