He said: "Punishment and wrath have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers,- without authority from Allah? then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting."

"And if there is a party among you who believes in the message with which I have been sent, and a party which does not believe, hold yourselves in patience until Allah doth decide between us: for He is the best to decide.

"We should indeed invent a lie against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of Allah, Our Lord. Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In the Allah is our trust. our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide."

Such were the towns whose story We (thus) relate unto thee: There came indeed to them their messengers with clear (signs): But they would not believe what they had rejected before. Thus doth Allah seal up the hearts of those who reject faith.

When some of them said: "Why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?"- said the preachers:" To discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear Him."

Whom Allah doth guide,- he is on the right path: whom He rejects from His guidance,- such are the persons who perish.

Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms is nigh drawing to an end? In what message after this will they then believe?

To such as Allah rejects from His guidance, there can be no guide: He will leave them in their trespasses, wandering in distraction.

Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah willeth. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith."

But when He giveth them a goodly child, they ascribe to others a share in the gift they have received: but Allah is exalted high above the partners they ascribe to Him.

"For my Protector is Allah, Who revealed the Book (from time to time), and He will choose and befriend the righteous.

For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord;

Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers;-

Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers;-

Allah made it but a message of hope, and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah: and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.

If Allah had found in them any good. He would indeed have made them listen: (As it is), if He had made them listen, they would but have turned back and declined (Faith).

Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah.

But Allah was not going to send them a penalty whilst thou wast amongst them; nor was He going to send it whilst they could ask for pardon.

But Allah was not going to send them a penalty whilst thou wast amongst them; nor was He going to send it whilst they could ask for pardon.

But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.

In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, put the impure, one on another, heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost.

Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But (thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

Remember in thy dream Allah showed them to thee as few: if He had shown them to thee as many, ye would surely have been discouraged, and ye would surely have disputed in (your) decision; but Allah saved (you): for He knoweth well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.

And remember when ye met, He showed them to you as few in your eyes, and He made you appear as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted. For to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).

"(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them: They rejected the Signs of Allah, and Allah punished them for their crimes: for Allah is Strong, and Strict in punishment:

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

Should they intend to deceive thee,- verily Allah sufficeth thee: He it is That hath strengthened thee with His aid and with (the company of) the Believers;

O Prophet! sufficient unto thee is Allah,- (unto thee) and unto those who follow thee among the Believers.

For the present, Allah hath lightened your (task), for He knoweth that there is a weak spot in you: But (even so), if there are a hundred of you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred, and if a thousand, they will vanquish two thousand, with the leave of Allah: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.

他说：“刑罚和谴怒，必从你们的主来临你们。你们和你们的祖先所定的许多名称，真主并未加以证实，难道你们要为那些名称与我争论吗？你们等待著吧！我的确是与你们一起等待的。”

如果你们当中有一伙人确信我的使命，有一伙人不信它，那末，你们要忍耐，直到真主为我们判决。他是最公正的判决者。”

真主使我们脱离你们的宗教后，如果我们再去信它，那末，我们确已假借真主的名义而造谣了。除非真主--我们的主--意欲，我们不会再信你们的宗教。我们的主的知觉是包罗万物的，我们只信托真主。我们的主啊！求你在我们和我们的宗族之间依真理而判决吧，你是至善的判决者。”

这些城市，我已把它们的部分故事告诉了你。各民族的使者，确已用许多明证昭示本族的人；但他们不会相信自己以前所否认的。真主就这样封闭不信道者的心。

当时，他们中有一伙人说：“真主要加以毁灭，或加以严惩的民众，你们何必劝戒他们呢？”他们说：“因为求得你们主的原谅，而且希望他们能敬畏。”

真主引导谁，谁是遵循正道的；真主使谁迷误，谁是亏折的。

难道他们没有观察天地的主权和真主创造的万物吗？难道他们没有想到他们的寿限或许已临近了吗？此外，他们将信仰什么言辞呢？

真主要使谁迷误，谁没有向导，并任随他们彷徨于残暴之中。

你说：“除真主所意欲的外，我不能掌握自己的祸福。假若我能知幽玄，我必多谋福利，不遭灾殃了。我只是一个警告者和对信道的民众的报喜者。”

当他赏赐他俩一个健全的儿子的时候，他俩为了主的赏赐而替主树立许多伙伴。但真主超乎他们用来配他的。

我的保佑者确是真主，他降示经典，眷顾善人。

只有这等人是信士：当记念真主的时候，他们内心感觉恐惧；当宣读真主的迹象的时候，那些迹象增加了他们信仰，他们只信任他们的主；

当时，真主应许你们两伙人中的一伙，你们要的是没有武装的那一伙，而真主欲以他的言辞证实真理，并根绝不信道的人，

当时，真主应许你们两伙人中的一伙，你们要的是没有武装的那一伙，而真主欲以他的言辞证实真理，并根绝不信道的人，

真主只以这个答覆向你们报喜，以便你们的心境因此而安定。援助只是从真主那里发出的。真主确是万能的，确是至睿的。

假若真主知道他们心中还有一点儿善意，必使他们能听；纵虽使他们能听，他们也还是要违背正道的。

当时，不信道的人对你用计谋，以便他们拘禁你，或杀害你，或驱逐你；他们用计谋，真主也用计谋，真主是最善于用计谋的。

你在他们中间的时候，真主是不会惩治他们的，他们正在求饶的时候，真主也不致于惩治他们。

你在他们中间的时候，真主是不会惩治他们的，他们正在求饶的时候，真主也不致于惩治他们。

他们阻止别人入禁寺的时候，真主怎能不惩治他们呢？他们不是禁寺的保护者，禁寺的保护者只能是敬畏的人，但他们大半不知道。

以便真主甄别恶劣的人和善良的人，然后把恶劣的人一层层地通统堆积起来，然后把他们投入火狱，这等人就是亏折的人。

当时，你们在山谷的近岸，敌军在远岸，而商队在你们的下面。假若你们约定相会，必定爽约，但（真主集合你们），以便他判决一件必行的事，以便灭亡者见明证而后灭亡，生存者见明证而后生存。真主确是全聪的，确是全知的。

当时真主使你在梦中看见敌人是少数的；假若他使你看见他们是多数的，你们必定胆怯，必定为战争而争论，但真主使你们得免于此。他确是全知心事的。

当你们相遇的时候，他使你们眼见敌军是少数的，又使你们在他们的眼里变成少数的；以便真主判决一件必行的事。万事只归真主裁决。

（他们的常态）犹如法老的百姓和以前的民族的常态一样，他们不信真主的迹象，故真主因他们的罪行而惩治他们。真主确是全能的，他的刑罚确是严厉的。

你们应当为他们而准备你们所能准备的武力和战马，你们借此威胁真主的敌人和你们的敌人，以及他们以外的别的敌人，你们不认识那些敌人，真主却认识他们。凡你们为主道而花费的，无论是什么，都将得到完全的报酬，你们不会吃亏。

如果他们想欺骗你，那末，真主必能使你满足，他将以他的援助和信士们辅助你。

先知啊！真主能使你满足，能使追随你的信士们满足。

现在，真主已减轻你们的负担，他知道你们中有点虚弱，如果你们中如有一百个坚忍的人，就能战胜二百个敌人；如你们中有一千个人，就能本真主的意旨而战胜两千个敌人。真主是与坚忍者同在的。
