Translation

EN

It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

It is not right for a prophet to take captives before he has conquered the battlefield. You [people] desire the transient goods of this world, but God desires the Hereafter [for you]- God is mighty and wise-

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

It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allāh's enemies] in the land. You [i.e., some Muslims] desire the commodities of this world, but Allāh desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Yeryüzünde savaşırken, düşmanı yere sermeden esir almak hiçbir peygambere yaraşmaz. Geçici dünya malını istiyorsunuz, oysa Allah ahireti kazanmanızı ister. Allah Güçlü'dür, Hakim'dir.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Hiçbir peygamberin, yeryüzünde ağır basmadıkça (kesin zafere ulaşıp üstün gelmedikçe) esirleri olması layık değildir. Siz dünya malını istersiniz, oysa Allah ahireti kazanmanızı murad eder. Allah azizdir, hakimdir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Hiçbir peygambere yeryüzünde ağır basıncaya (kesin bir zafere ulaşıncaya) kadar, (yanında) esirler bulundurmak yakışmaz. Siz geçici dünya malını istiyorsunuz, Allah ise (sizin için) ahireti istiyor. Allah güçlüdür, doğru hüküm verendir.

لا ينبغي لنبي أن يكون له أسرى مِن أعدائه حتى يبالغ في القتل؛ لإدخال الرعب في قلوبهم ويوطد دعائم الدين، تريدون -يا معشر المسلمين- بأخذكم الفداء من أسرى "بدر" متاع الدنيا، والله يريد إظهار دينه الذي به تدرك الآخرة. والله عزيز لا يُقْهر، حكيم في شرعه.
