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.

After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah-suspicions due to ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death"; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.

Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.

Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from Himself, and he caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to strengthen your hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith.

O Prophet! say to those who are captives in your hands: "If Allah findeth any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

"Nay, ye thought that the Messenger and the Believers would never return to their families; this seemed pleasing in your hearts, and ye conceived an evil thought, for ye are a people lost (in wickedness)."

And know that among you is Allah's Messenger: were he, in many matters, to follow your (wishes), ye would certainly fall into misfortune: But Allah has endeared the Faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He has made hateful to you Unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness;-

The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say, 'We have submitted our wills to Allah,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

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。

在忧患之后，他又降安宁给你们，使你们中一部分人瞌睡；另一部分人则为自身而焦虑，他们象蒙昧时代的人一样，对真主妄加猜测，他们说：“我们有一点胜利的希望吗?”你说：“一切事情，的确都是真主所主持的。”他们的心里怀着不敢对你表示的恶意；他们说：“假若我们有一点胜利的希望，我们的同胞不致阵亡在这里。”你说：“假若你们坐在家里，那么命中注定要阵亡的人，必定外出，走到他们阵亡的地方；（真主这样做），以便他试验你们的心事，锻炼你们心中的信仰。真主是全知心事的。”

你说：“你们告诉我吧，如果真主使你们失去听觉和视觉，而且封闭你们的心，那末，除真主外，还有哪个主宰能使你们复原呢？”你看我是怎样阐述一切迹象的，然而，他们置之不顾。

当时，他使你们睡眠，以便你们获得从他发出的安宁；他从云中降下雨水，以便洗涤你们，替你们消除恶魔的蛊惑，并使你们的心绪安静，使你们的步伐稳健。

先知啊！你对你们手中的俘虏们说：“如果真主知道你们心中有善意，那末，他要把比你们所纳的赎金更好的东西赏赐你们，而且要饶恕你们。真主是至赦的，至慈的。”

你可以任意地离绝她们中的任何人，也可以任意地挽留她们中的任何人。你所暂离的妻子，你想召回她，对于你是毫无罪过的。那是最近于使她们感到安慰而无悲哀的，并且都满意你所给予她们的。真主知道你们的心事，真主是全知的，是至睿的。

你们猜想使者和信士们永不回家了，你们的心为这猜想所迷惑，你们作不善的猜想，你们是将灭亡的民众。”

你们应当知道，真主的使者在你们之间，假若他对于许多事情都顺从你们，你们必陷于苦难。但真主使你们热爱正信，并在你们的心中修饰它；他使你们觉得迷信、罪恶、放荡是可恶的；这等人，确是循规蹈矩的。

游牧人们曾说：“我们已信道了。”你说：“你们没有信道，虽然你们可以说：‘我们已归顺了'，但正信还没有入你们的心。如果你们服从真主和使者，他不减少你们的善功一丝毫。真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。”
