And they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days:" Say: "Have ye taken a promise from Allah, for He never breaks His promise? or is it that ye say of Allah what ye do not know?"

They say, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah's Word: we need no more)." Nay, Allah's curse is on them for their blasphemy: Little is it they believe.

And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."

They say: "Allah hath begotten a son" :Glory be to Him.-Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him.

They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."

The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys."

O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are travelling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: "If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain." This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye do.

Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": And frightened them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They said: "For us Allah sufficeth, and He is the best disposer of affairs."

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

They say: "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If we did send down an angel, the matter would be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them.

And they (sometimes) say: "There is nothing except our life on this earth, and never shall we be raised up again."

They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Allah hath certainly power to send down a sign: but most of them understand not.

And they say that such and such cattle and crops are taboo, and none should eat of them except those whom - so they say - We wish; further, there are cattle forbidden to yoke or burden, and cattle on which, (at slaughter), the name of Allah is not pronounced; - inventions against Allah's name: soon will He requite them for their inventions.

They say: "What is in the wombs of such and such cattle is specially reserved (for food) for our men, and forbidden to our women; but if it is still-born, then all have share therein. For their (false) attribution (of superstitions to Allah), He will soon punish them: for He is full of wisdom and knowledge.

And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury;- beneath them will be rivers flowing;- and they shall say: "Praise be to Allah, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth, that the messengers of our Lord brought unto us." And they shall hear the cry: "Behold! the garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness)."

Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!"

Then We changed their suffering into prosperity, until they grew and multiplied, and began to say: "Our fathers (too) were touched by suffering and affluence" ... Behold! We called them to account of a sudden, while they realised not (their peril).

They said (to Moses): "Whatever be the Signs thou bringest, to work therewith thy sorcery on us, we shall never believe in thee.

If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said, "Sufficient unto us is Allah! Allah and His Messenger will soon give us of His bounty: to Allah do we turn our hopes!" (that would have been the right course).

Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger of Allah: they hated to strive and fight, with their goods and their persons, in the cause of Allah: they said, "Go not forth in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand!

When a Sura comes down, enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive and fight along with His Messenger, those with wealth and influence among them ask thee for exemption, and say: "Leave us (behind): we would be with those who sit (at home)."

Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud? - And of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came messengers with Clear (Signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."

They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!

They say: "What! when we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new creation?"

They say: "We shall not believe in thee, until thou cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth,

That is their recompense, because they rejected Our signs, and said, "When we are reduced to bones and broken dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new Creation?"

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?

And they say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honour.

Why did not the believers - men and women - when ye heard of the affair,- put the best construction on it in their own minds and say, "This (charge) is an obvious lie"?

他们说：“火绝不接触我们，除非若干有数的日子。”你说：“真主是绝不爽约的，你们曾与真主缔约呢？还是假借真主的名义而说出自己所不知道的事呢？”

他们说：“我们的心是受蒙蔽的。”不然，真主为他们不信道而弃绝他们，故他们的信仰是很少的。

他们说：“除犹太教徒和基督教徒外，别的人绝不得入乐园。”这是他们的妄想。你说：“如果你们是诚实的，那末，你们拿出证据来吧！”

他们说：“真主以人为子。”赞颂真主，超绝万物！不然，天地万物，都是他的；一切都是服从他的。

他们说：“你们应当变成犹太教徒和基督教徒，你们才能获得正道。”你说：“不然，我们遵循崇奉正教的易卜拉欣的宗教，他不是以物配主者。”

使者确信主所降示他的经典，信士们也确信那部经典，他们人人都确信真主和他的众天神，一切经典和众使者。（他们说）：”我们对於他的任何使者，都不加以歧视。”他们说：“我们听从了，我们恳求你赦宥；我们的主啊！你是最後的归宿。”

信道的人们啊！你们不要象不信道的人一样；当他们的同胞出门病故，或阵亡前线的时候，他们说：“假若他们同我们坐在家里，那么，他们不致病故或阵亡。”（你们不要象他们那样说）以便真主以此为他们心里（所独有）的悔恨。真主能使死人复活，能使活人死亡。真主是明察他们的行为的。

有人曾对他们说：“那些人确已为进攻你们而集合队伍了，故你们应当畏惧他们。”这句话却增加了他们的信念，他们说：“真主是使我们满足的，他是优美的监护者！”

难道你没有看见吗？有人曾对他们说：“你们当制止自己的武力，当谨守拜功，当完纳天课。”当真主以抗战为他们的定制的时候，他们中有一部分人畏惧敌人，犹如畏惧真主，乃至更加畏惧。他们说：“我们的主啊！你为什么以抗战为我们的定制呢？你为什么不让我们延迟到一个临近的日期呢？”你说：“今世的享受，是些微的；后世的报酬，对于敬畏者，是更好的。你们不受一丝毫的亏枉。”

他们说：“为什么没有一个天神降临他呢？”假若我降下一个天神，那末，他们的毁灭，必成定案，而他们不蒙宽待了。

他们说：“只有我们今世的生活，我们绝不复活。”

他们说：“为什么没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢？”你说：“真主确是能降示一种迹象的。”但他们大半不知道。

他们妄言：”这些是禁牲和禁谷，只有我们所意欲的人才可以吃；这些牲畜，是不准人骑的；这些牲畜，是不诵真主之名而宰的。”他们假借真主的名义而造谣，他要为他们造谣而报酬他们。

他们说：“这些牲畜所怀的胎儿，是专归我们男人的，对于我们的妻子是禁物。”如果那胎儿生下来是死的，他们就共同吃它。真主要为他们捏造谣言而报酬他们。他确是至睿的，确是全知的。

我将拔除他们心中的怨恨，他们将住在下临诸河的乐园，他们将说：“一切赞颂，全归真主！他引导我们获此善报，假如真主没有引导我们，我们不致于遵循正道。我们的主的众使者，确已昭示了真理。”或者将大声地对他们说：“这就是你们因自己的行为而得继承的乐园。”

他们宰了那只母驼，违抗他们主的命令，他们并说：“撒立哈啊！你把你用来警告我们的刑罚拿来给我们看看吧，如果你是使者的话！”

随后我转祸为福，直到他们富庶，并且说：“我们的祖先确已遭过患难，享过康乐了。”于是，当他们不知不觉时，我惩治他们。

他们说：“无论你拿什么迹象来迷惑我们，我们绝不信仰你。”

如果他们满意真主及其使者给予他们的，并且说：“真主及其使者将以别的恩惠给予我们，我们确是祈求真主的。”那对于他们是更有益的。

使者出征后，在后方的人因能安坐家中而高兴。他们不愿以自己的财产和生命为主道而奋斗，他们互相嘱咐说：“你们不要在热天出征。”你说：“火狱的火是更炽热的，假若他们是明理的。”

如果降示一章经说：“你们要信仰真主，要同使者一道奋斗”，他们中的富裕者就要向你请假，他们说：“你让我们与安坐家中的人在一起吧！”

你们以前的民族--努哈的宗族、阿德人、赛莫德人和他们以后的人，只有真主能知道他们--难道这等人的消息没有来临你们吗？他们族中的使者昭示他们许多明证，但他们把自己的手指插入口内，说：“我们必定不信你们所奉的使命，我们对于你们所宣传的事情，确是在使人不安的疑惑之中。”

他们说：“受降示教诲的人啊！你确是一个疯子。

他们说：“我们变成枯骨和尘土后，难道我们还一定会被复活成为新人吗？”

他们说：“我们绝不信你，直到你为我们而使一道源泉从地下涌出，

这是他们的报酬，因为他们不信我的迹象，并且说：“我们变成枯骨和尘土后，难道我们一定会被复活成新人吗？”

他们说：“至仁主收养儿子。”

他们说：“他怎么不从他的那里拿一种迹象来给我们呢？”关于《古兰经》的阐明，难道没有降临他们吗？

他们说：“至仁主以（天神）为女儿。”赞颂真主，超绝万物。不然，他们是受优待的奴仆，

当你们听见谣言的时候，信士和信女对自己的教胞， 为何不作善意的猜想，并且说：“这是明显的谣言”呢？
