It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;-

麦地那人和他们四周的游牧的阿拉伯人，不该逗留在后方，而不随使者出征；不该只顾自己的安逸，而不与使者共患难。因为凡他们为真主而遭遇的饥渴和劳顿，他们触怒不信道者的每一步伐，或每次对敌人有所获，每有一件就必为他们记一功，真主一定不使行善者徒劳无酬。
