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.

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.

你们在战场上遇到不信道者的时候，应当斩杀他们，你们既战胜他们，就应当俘虏他们；以后或释放他们，或准许他们赎身，直到战争放下他的重担。事情就是这样的，假若真主意欲，他必惩治他们；但他命你们抗战，以便他以你们互相考验。为主道而阵亡者，真主绝不枉费他们的善功，

先知在大地上重惩敌人之前，不该有俘虏。你们欲得尘世的浮利，而真主愿你们得享后世的报酬。真主是万能的，是至睿的。
