It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;-
But the Unbelievers,- their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which the man parched with thirst mistakes for water; until when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing: But he finds Allah (ever) with him, and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking account.
"Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun's heat."

麦地那人和他们四周的游牧的阿拉伯人,不该逗留在后方,而不随使者出征;不该只顾自己的安逸,而不与使者共患难。因为凡他们为真主而遭遇的饥渴和劳顿,他们触怒不信道者的每一步伐,或每次对敌人有所获,每有一件就必为他们记一功,真主一定不使行善者徒劳无酬。
不信道者的善功恰如沙漠里的蜃景,口渴者以为那里有水,等到他来到有蜃景的地方时,没有发现什么,却发现真主在那里。真主就把他的帐目完全交给他,真主是清算神速的。
必不口渴,必不感炎热。”
