Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favoured are not going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then deny the favours of Allah?

Eat (for yourselves) and pasture your cattle: verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.

That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created,- cattle and men in great numbers.

See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?-

And do they not see that We do drive rain to parched soil (bare of herbage), and produce therewith crops, providing food for their cattle and themselves? Have they not the vision?

And they say that such and such cattle and crops are taboo, and none should eat of them except those whom - so they say - We wish; further, there are cattle forbidden to yoke or burden, and cattle on which, (at slaughter), the name of Allah is not pronounced; - inventions against Allah's name: soon will He requite them for their inventions.

All who obey Allah and the messenger are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!

There are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: If a misfortune befalls you, they say: "Allah did favour us in that we were not present among them."

(But) among (their) Allah-fearing men were two on whom Allah had bestowed His grace: They said: "Assault them at the (proper) Gate: when once ye are in, victory will be yours; But on Allah put your trust if ye have faith."

Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.

Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled.

"Because Allah will never change the grace which He hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls: and verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things)."

Yet when We bestow Our favours on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side (instead of coming to Us), and when evil seizes him he gives himself up to despair!

When We bestow favours on man, he turns away, and gets himself remote on his side (instead of coming to Us); and when evil seizes him, (he comes) full of prolonged prayer!

He was no more than a servant: We granted Our favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel.

The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

So he smiled, amused at her speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful for Thy favours, which thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please Thee: And admit me, by Thy Grace, to the ranks of Thy righteous Servants."

He said: "O my Lord! For that Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace on me, never shall I be a help to those who sin!"

We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."

O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.

Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you to all other (for My Message).

O Children of Israel! call to mind the special favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you to all others (for My Message).

"Freely has He bestowed on you cattle and sons,-

Allah sets forth a Parable: a city enjoying security and quiet, abundantly supplied with sustenance from every place: Yet was it ungrateful for the favours of Allah: so Allah made it taste of hunger and terror (in extremes) (closing in on it) like a garment (from every side), because of the (evil) which (its people) wrought.

Seest thou not that the ships sail through the ocean by the Grace of Allah?- that He may show you of His Signs? Verily in this are Signs for all who constantly persevere and give thanks.

Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.

Thou art not, by the Grace of thy Lord, mad or possessed.

But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.

They glory in the Grace and the bounty from Allah, and in the fact that Allah suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least).

在给养上，真主使你们中一部分人超越另一部分人，给养优厚者绝不愿把自己的给养让给自己的奴仆，从而他们在给养上与自己平等，难道他们否认真主的恩惠吗？

你们可以吃那些植物，可以放牧你们的牲畜。对于有理智者，此中确有许多迹象。

以便我借雨水而使已死的大地复活，并用雨水供我所创造的牲畜和人们做饮料。

难道他们不知道吗？从我所亲手造作者之中，我曾为他们而创造牲畜，而他们管理它们。

他们还不知道吗？我把雨水赶到无草的地方，而借它生出他们的牲畜和他们自己所食的庄稼。难道他们看不见吗？

他们妄言：”这些是禁牲和禁谷，只有我们所意欲的人才可以吃；这些牲畜，是不准人骑的；这些牲畜，是不诵真主之名而宰的。”他们假借真主的名义而造谣，他要为他们造谣而报酬他们。

凡服从真主和使者的人，教与真主所护佑的众先知，忠信的人，诚笃的人，善良的人同在。这等人，是很好的伙伴。

你们中的确有人逗留后方，如果你们遭遇灾难，他就说：“真主确已护佑我，因为我没有同他们在前方。”

敬畏者当中有两个人，曾蒙真主的恩惠，他们俩说：“你们从城门进攻他们吧！你们攻进城门的时候，必能战胜他们。你们只应该信托真主，如果你们是信士的话。”

真主曾加以恩宠的这些先知，属于阿丹的后裔，属于我使（他们）与努哈同舟共济者的（后裔），属于易卜拉欣和易司拉仪的后裔，属于我所引导而且选拔的人，对他们宣读至仁主的启示的时候，他们俯伏下去叩头和哭泣。（此处叩头！）※

当时，你对那真主曾施以恩惠，你也曾施以恩惠的人说：“你应当挽留你的妻子，你应当敬畏真主。”你把真主所欲昭示的，隐藏在你的心中，真主是更应当为你所畏惧的，你却畏惧众人。当宰德离绝她的时候，我以她为你的妻子，以免信士们为他们的义子所离绝的妻子而感觉烦难。真主的命令，是必须奉行的。

这是因为真主不变更他所施于任何民众的恩典，直到他们变更自己的情况，又因为真主是全聪的，是全知的。

当我施恩于人的时候，他掉头不顾；当他遭遇祸患的时候，他变成绝望的。

当我施恩于人的时候，他忘恩而自大；当他遭遇祸患的时候，他祈祷不绝。

他只是一个仆人，我赐他恩典，并以他为以色列后裔的示范。

你所祐助者的路，不是受谴怒者的路，也不是迷误者的路。

素莱曼为她的话而诧异地微笑了，他说：“我的主啊！求你启示我，使我常常感谢你所赐我和我的父母的恩惠，并使我常常作你所喜悦的善功求你借你的恩惠使我得入你的善良的仆人之列。”

他说：“我的主啊！我借你所赐我的恩典而求你保佑我，我绝不做犯罪者的助手。”

我曾命人孝敬父母；他的母亲，辛苦地怀他，辛苦地生他，他受胎和断乳的时期，共计三十个月。当他达到壮年，再达到四十岁的时候，他说：“我的主啊！求你启示我，使我感谢你所施于我和我的父母的恩惠，并行你所喜悦的善事。求你为我改善我的后裔。我确已向你悔罪，我确是一个顺服者。”

以色列的後裔啊！你们当铭记我所赐你们的恩惠，你们当履行对我的约言，我就履行对你们的约言；你们应当只畏惧我。

以色列的後裔啊！你们当铭记我所赐你们的恩典，并铭记我曾使你们超越世人。

以色列的後裔啊！你们应当铭记我所施於你们的恩典，并铭记我曾使你们超越世人。

他赏赐你们牲畜和子嗣，

真主打一个比喻：一个市镇，原是安全的，安稳的，丰富的给养从各方运来，但镇上的居民辜负真主的恩惠，所以真主因他们的行为而使他们尝试极度的饥荒和恐怖。

难道你不知道吗？船舶在海中带着真主的恩惠而航行，以便他指示你们他的一部分迹象，对于每个坚忍的、感谢的人，此中确有许多迹象。

你应当教诲众人，因为借你的主的恩典，你不是一个占卜者，也不是一个疯人。

你为主的恩典，你绝不是一个疯人，

至於你的主所赐你的恩典呢，你应当宣示它。

你们当全体坚持真主的绳索，不要自己分裂。你们当铭记真主所赐你们的恩典，当时，你们原是仇敌，而真主联合你们的心，你们借他的恩典才变成教胞；你们原是在一个火坑的边缘上的，是真主使你们脱离那个火坑。真主如此为你们阐明他的迹象，以便你们遵循正道。

他们喜欢从真主发出的赏赐和恩惠，并且喜欢真主不使信士们徒劳无酬。
