"Our Lord! send amongst them a Messenger of their own, who shall rehearse Thy Signs to them and instruct them in scripture and wisdom, and sanctify them: For Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

Allah did confer a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a messenger from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, sanctifying them, and instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while, before that, they had been in manifest error.

When thou (O Messenger) art with them, and standest to lead them in prayer, Let one party of them stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with thee, Taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the Unbelievers wish, if ye were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you if ye put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because ye are ill; but take (every) precaution for yourselves. For the Unbelievers Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment.

Those in whose hearts is a disease - thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them, saying: "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." Ah! perhaps Allah will give (thee) victory, or a decision according to His will. Then will they repent of the thoughts which they secretly harboured in their hearts.

"Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.

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).

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.

Then, on the Day of Judgment, He will cover them with shame, and say: "Where are My 'partners' concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with knowledge will say: "This Day, indeed, are the Unbelievers covered with shame and misery,-

(Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers.

Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness."

And We sent to them a messenger from among themselves, (saying), "Worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. Will ye not fear (Him)?"

Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is Allah, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them),

We (once) sent Noah to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand years less fifty: but the Deluge overwhelmed them while they (persisted in) sin.

But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them;-

There was indeed in them an excellent example for you to follow,- for those whose hope is in Allah and in the Last Day. But if any turn away, truly Allah is Free of all Wants, Worthy of all Praise.

我们的主啊！求你在他们中间派遣一个同族的使者，对他们宣读你的启示，教授他们天经和智慧，并且薰陶他们。你确是万能的，确是至睿的。”

真主确已施恩于信士们，因为他曾在他们中派遣了一个同族的使者，对他们宣读他的迹象，并且熏陶他们，教授他们天经和智慧，以前，他们确是在明显的迷误中的。

当你在他们之间，而你欲带领他们礼拜的时候，教他们中的一队人同你立正，并教他们携带武器。当他们礼拜的时候，叫另一队人防守在你们后面；然后，教还没有礼拜的那一队人来同你礼拜，教他们也要谨慎戒备，并携带武器。不信道的人，希望你们忽视你们的武器和物资，而乘机袭击你们。如果你们为雨水或疾病而感觉烦难，那末，放下武器对于你们是无罪的。你们当谨慎戒备。真主确已为不信道的人而预备凌辱的刑罚。

你将看见有心病的人，将争先地去与他们亲善，还要托辞说：“我们恐怕遭遇厄运。”真主也许降下胜利，或发出命令，而他们因为自己心中隐藏的阴谋，而变成悔恨的人。

我只对他们说过你所命我说的话，即：你们当崇拜真主--我的主，和你们的主。我同他们相处期间，我是他们的见证。你使我死去之后，盟护他们的是你，你是万物的见证。

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。

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。

然后在复活日他要凌辱他们，并审问他们说：“我那些伙伴--你们为了他们而与信士们相争论的--如今在哪里呢？”有学识者将要说：“凌辱和刑罚今日必归于不信道者。”

有人将说：“他们是三个，第四个是他们的狗。”有人将说：“他们是五个，第六个是他们的狗。”这是由于猜测幽玄。还有人将说：“他们是七个，第八个是他们的狗。”你说：“我的主是最知道他们的数目的，此外，只有少数人知道。关于他们的事情，只可作表面的辩论，关于他们的事情，不要请教任何人。”

我从他们族中派了一个使者，去教化他们（说）：”你们应当崇拜真主， 除了他，你们绝无应受崇拜者，难道你们不敬畏吗？”

不能娶妻者，叫他们极力保持贞操，直到真主以他的恩惠而使他们富足。你们的奴婢中要求订约赎身者，如果你们知道他们是忠实的，你们就应当与他们订约，并且把真主赐予你们的财产的一部分给他们。如果你们的婢女，要保守贞操，你们就不要为了今世生活的浮利而强迫她们卖淫。如果有人强迫她们，那末，在被迫之后，真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

我确已派努哈去教化他的宗族，他在他们之间，逗留了九百五十年，洪水就袭击了他们，因为他们是不义的。

我在他们之间，确已派遣过许多警告者。

易卜拉欣和他的教徒，对於你们希望会见真主和末日者，确是好模范。背叛者，无损於真主，因为真主确是无求的，确是可颂的。
