Allah did indeed fulfil His promise to you when ye with His permission Were about to annihilate your enemy,-until ye flinched and fell to disputing about the order, and disobeyed it after He brought you in sight (of the booty) which ye covet. Among you are some that hanker after this world and some that desire the Hereafter. Then did He divert you from your foes in order to test you but He forgave you: For Allah is full of grace to those who believe.

It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.

Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith,- they are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah).

"But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief."

Say: "Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation; so will Allah produce a later creation: for Allah has power over all things.

What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew.

But if ye seek Allah and His Messenger, and the Home of the Hereafter, verily Allah has prepared for the well-doers amongst you a great reward.

Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.

"O my people! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last.

By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,

And leave alone the Hereafter.

你们奉真主的命令而歼灭敌军之初，真主确已对你们实践他的约言；直到了在他使你们看见你们所喜爱的战利品之后，你们竟示弱、内争、违抗（使者的）命令。你们中有贪恋今世的，有企图后世的。嗣后，他使你们离开敌人，以便他试验你们。他确已饶恕你们。真主对于信士是有恩惠的。

先知在大地上重惩敌人之前，不该有俘虏。你们欲得尘世的浮利，而真主愿你们得享后世的报酬。真主是万能的，是至睿的。

凡欲获得后世，并为此而尽了努力的信道者，这等人的努力是有报酬的。

你应当借真主赏赐你的财富而营谋后世的住宅，你不要忘却你在今世的定分。你当以善待人，象真主以善待你一样。你不要在地方上摆弄是非，真主确是不爱摆弄是非者。”

你说：“你们应当在大地上旅行，因而观察真主怎样创造众生，又怎样再造他们。真主对于万事确是全能的。

这种今世的生活，只是娱乐和游戏；后世的住宅，确是充满生活的。假若他们知道……

如果你们欲得真主及其使者的喜悦，与后世的安宅，那末真主确已为你们中的行善者，预备了重大的报酬。”

（景况更好的，是你呢？）还是在夜间专心事主，叩头立正，谨防后世，希望主恩的人呢？”你说：“有知识的与无知识的相等吗？惟有理智的人能觉悟。”

我的宗族啊！今世的生活，只是一种享受，后世才是安宅。

绝不然，他们不畏惧后世！

而不顾后世的生活。
