surely, We (could) have raised him
that you provide them with mounts,
(that) will disgrace him,
according to their measure,
(Take) eight (head of cattle) in (four) pairs: of sheep a pair, and of goats a pair; say, hath He forbidden the two males, or the two females, or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? Tell me with knowledge if ye are truthful:
Of camels a pair, and oxen a pair; say, hath He forbidden the two males, or the two females, or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? - Were ye present when Allah ordered you such a thing? But who doth more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead astray men without knowledge? For Allah guideth not people who do wrong.
If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.
If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mounts, and when thou saidst, "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses.
Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
Now hath come unto you a Messenger from amongst yourselves: it grieves him that ye should perish: ardently anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful.
But if they turn away, Say: "Allah sufficeth me: there is no god but He: On Him is my trust,- He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!"
They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The Unseen is only for Allah (to know), then wait ye: I too will wait with you."
They said: "Hast thou come to us to turn us away from the ways we found our fathers following,- in order that thou and thy brother may have greatness in the land? But not we shall believe in you!"
Perchance thou mayest (feel the inclination) to give up a part of what is revealed unto thee, and thy heart feeleth straitened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down unto him, or why does not an angel come down with him?" But thou art there only to warn! It is Allah that arrangeth all affairs!
"And O my people! I ask you for no wealth in return: my reward is from none but Allah: But I will not drive away (in contempt) those who believe: for verily they are to meet their Lord, and ye I see are the ignorant ones!
Forthwith he (starts) constructing the Ark: Every time that the chiefs of his people passed by him, they threw ridicule on him. He said: "If ye ridicule us now, we (in our turn) can look down on you with ridicule likewise!
"But soon will ye know who it is on whom will descend a penalty that will cover them with shame,- on whom will be unloosed a penalty lasting:"
At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.
"O my people! I ask of you no reward for this (Message). My reward is from none but Him who created me: Will ye not then understand?
He said: "O my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself? I wish not, in opposition to you, to do that which I forbid you to do. I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah. In Him I trust, and unto Him I look.
To Allah do belong the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him goeth back every affair (for decision): then worship Him, and put thy trust in Him: and thy Lord is not unmindful of aught that ye do.
(The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "Allah preserve us! no evil know we against him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous).
Then came Joseph's brethren: they entered his presence, and he knew them, but they knew him not.
He said: "Shall I trust you with him with any result other than when I trusted you with his brother aforetime? But Allah is the best to take care (of him), and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!"
Further he said: "O my sons! enter not all by one gate: enter ye by different gates. Not that I can profit you aught against Allah (with my advice): None can command except Allah: On Him do I put my trust: and let all that trust put their trust on Him."
Then, when they came (back) into (Joseph's) presence they said: "O exalted one! distress has seized us and our family: we have (now) brought but scanty capital: so pay us full measure, (we pray thee), and treat it as charity to us: for Allah doth reward the charitable."
And no reward dost thou ask of them for this: it is no less than a message for all creatures.
And the Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.
He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.
The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-
Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious! Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!"
They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!
When they entered his presence and said, "Peace!" He said, "We feel afraid of you!"
(他创造了)八只牲畜:两只绵羊.两只山羊,你说:“真主只以两只公的为禁物呢?还是只以两只母的为禁物呢?还是只以两只母的所孕育的为禁物呢?你们依真知灼见而告诉我吧,如果你们是诚实的人!”
两只骆驼和两只黄牛。你说:“真主只以两只公的为禁物呢?还是只以两只母的为禁物呢?还是只以两只母的所孕育的为禁物呢?难道真主以此嘱咐你们的时候,你们会作见证吗?假借真主的名义而造谣,以致无知地使人迷误的人,有谁比他还不义呢?真主必定不引导不义的民众。”
假若我意欲,我一定要借那些迹象而提升他,但他依恋尘世,顺从私欲,所以他像狗一样,你喝斥它,它就伸出舌头来,你不喝斥它,它也伸出舌头来,这是否认我的迹象者的譬喻。你要讲述这个人的故事,以便他们省悟。
如果你们不相助他,那末,真主确已相助他了。当时,不信道的人们把他驱逐出境,只有一个人与他同行,当时,他俩在山洞里,他对他的同伴说:“不要忧愁,真主确是和我们在一起的。”真主就把宁静降给他,而且以你们所看不见的军队扶助他,并且使不信道者的言词变成最卑贱的;而真主的言词确是最高尚的。真主是万能的,是至睿的。
那等人也是无可非难的,当他们来请求你以牲口供给他们(出征)的时候,你说:“我没有牲口供给你们。”他们就挥泪而去,他们因为不能自筹旅费而悲伤。
真主确已用乐园换取信士们的生命和财产。他们为真主而战斗;他们或杀敌致果,或杀身成仁。那是真实的应许,记录在《讨拉特》、《引支勒》和《古兰经》中。谁比真主更能践约呢?你们要为自己所缔结的契约而高兴。那正是伟大的成功。
你们本族中的使者确已来教化你们了,他不忍心见你们受痛苦,他渴望你们得正道,他慈爱信士们。
如果他们违背正道,你就说:“真主是能使我满足的,除他外,绝无应受崇拜的。我只信托他,他是有伟大的宝座的。”
他们说:“为何没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢?”你说:“幽玄只归真主,你们期待著吧!我确是和你们在一起期待著的!”
他们说:“你到我们这里来,想使我们抛奔我们的祖先的宗教,而让你们俩称尊于国中吗?我们绝不会归信你们的。”
你或许不肯传达你所受的部分启示,而且因之而烦闷,因为恐怕他们说:“为什么,或有一个天神与他一道来临呢?”你只是一个警告者,真主是监护万物的。
我的宗族啊!我不为传达使命而向你们索取钱财,我的报酬只归真主负担。我不驱逐信道的人们。他们必定要|见他们的主,但我认为你们是无知的民众。
他正在造船。他的宗族中的贵族们每逢从他面前走过,都嘲笑他,他说:“如果你们嘲笑我们,我们也必定要像你们嘲笑我们一样嘲笑你们。
你们将来就知道谁要受凌辱的惩罚,谁要遭永久的惩治。”
等到我的命令来临而洪水从地面涌出的时候,我说:“你把每种动物各拿一对放在船里,并使你的家属--除已被判决者外--和信道的人们一起上船去。”只有少数人同他一起信道。
我的宗族啊!我不为传达使命而向你们索取报酬,我的报酬只由造化我的主宰负担。难道你们不理解吗?
他说:“我的宗族啊!你们告诉我吧,如果我是依据从我的主降示的明证的,而他曾将他的佳美的给养赏赐了我,(难道我肯违背他的命令吗?)我不愿和你们背道而驰,我禁止你们犯罪,我就不犯罪,我只愿尽我所能从事改革,我的成功全凭真主的援助,我只信赖他,我只归依他。
天地的幽玄只是真主的,一切事情只归他,故你应当崇拜他,应当信赖他。你的主绝不忽视你们的行为。
国王说:“你们勾引优素福的时候,你们的实情是什么?”她们说:“啊呀!我们不知道他有一点罪过。”权贵的妻子说:“现在真相大白了,是我勾引他,他确是诚实的人。”
优素福的哥哥们来了,他们进去见他。他认出了他们,而他们却没有认出他。
他说:“对于他我能信任你们,正如以前对于他哥哥我信任你们一样吗?真主是最善于保护的,也是最慈爱的。”
他说:“我的孩子们,不要从一道城门进城,应当分散开,从几道城门进去。我对于真主的(判决),毫无裨益于你们;一切判决只归真主,我只信赖他,让一切信赖者都只信赖他吧!”
当他们进去见优素福的时候,他们说:“权贵啊!我们和我们的眷属遭遇了灾害,只带来了一点劣质财物,请你给我们足量的粮食,请你施舍给我们。真主一定会报酬施舍者。”
你不为传授《古兰经》而向他们要求任何报酬。《古兰经》只是对世人的教诲。
不信道者说:“为什么没有一种迹象,从他的主降临他呢?”你只是一个警告者,每个民族都有一个引导者。
真主从云中降下雨水,一切沟壑就尽量流行。山洪载著浮渣--他们为制造首饰和器皿而熔化的金属,也有同样的浮渣。真主如此阐明真伪--至于渣滓则被冲走,至于有益于人的东西则留存在地面上。真主如此阐明许多比喻。
不信道的人们说:“怎么没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢?”你说:“真主必定使他所意欲者误入迷途,必定使归依他的人走上正路。”
我这样派遣你去教化一个民族,在他们之前有许多民族确已逝去了,以便你对他们宣读我所启示你的经典,他们是不信至仁主的。你说:“他是我的主,除他之外,绝无应受崇拜的。我只信托他,我只以他为依归。”
他们说:“受降示教诲的人啊!你确是一个疯子。
当时,他们进去见他,说:“祝你平安。”他说:“我们确是畏惧你们的。”
