Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish worship and pay the poordue, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged the down upon a date-stone. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Have you not regarded those who were told, [Keep your hands off [from warfare], and maintain the prayer and give the zakat]? But when fighting was prescribed for them, behold, a part of them feared the people as if fearing Allah, or were even more afraid, and they said, [Our Lord! Why did You prescribe fighting for us? Why did You not respite us for a short time?!] Say, [The enjoyments of this world are trifle and the Hereafter is better for the Godwary, and you will not be wronged so much as a single date-thread. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Have you not seen those who were told to stop fighting, to say their prayers, and pay the religious tax? When they were ordered to fight, some of them feared other men as much as or more than they feared God and so they said, [Lord, why have you ordered us to fight? If only you would give us a little time.] (Muhammad), tell them, [The pleasures of the worldly life are trivial. The life hereafter is best for the pious ones. You will not be treated the slightest bit unjustly. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; but when fighting is prescribed for them, lo! a party of them fear men as they ought to have feared Allah, or (even) with a greater fear, and say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? Wherefore didst Thou not grant us a delay to a near end? Say: The provision of this world is short, and the hereafter is better for him who guards (against evil); and you shall not be wronged the husk of a date stone. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
Have you not seen those to whom it was said, [Restrain your hands, say your prayers and pay the prescribed alms?] And when they have been ordered to fight, some of them have felt afraid of human beings just as they should be afraid of God, or they are even more afraid. They say, [Our Lord, why have You ordered us to fight? If You would only postpone it for a little while longer!] Say, [The benefits of this world are negligible and the Hereafter will be better for one who fears God; and you shall not be wronged in the slightest. - Wahiduddin Khan

کیا تم نے ان لوگوں کو نہیں دیکھا جن سے کہا گیا تھا کہ ہاتھ روکے رکھو اور نماز قائم کرو, زکوِٰادا کرو(تو بے چین ہوگئے) اور جب جہاد واجب کردیا گیا تو ایک گروہ لوگوں(دشمنوں) سے اس قدر ڈرتا تھا جیسے خدا سے ڈرتا ہو یا اس سے بھی کچھ زیادہ اور یہ کہتے ہیں کہ خدایا اتنی جلدی کیوں جہاد واجب کردیا کاش تھوڑی مدت تک اور ٹال دیاجاتا پیغمبرآپ کہہ دیجئے کہ دنیا کا سرمایہ بہت تھوڑا ہے اور آخرت صاحبانِ تقوٰی کے لئے بہترین جگہ ہے اور تم پر دھاگہ برابر بھی ظلم نہیں کیا جائے گا - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تم نے اُن لوگوں کو بھی دیکھا جن سے کہا گیا تھا کہ اپنے ہاتھ روکے رکھو اور نماز قائم کرو اور زکوٰۃ دو؟ اب جو انہیں لڑائی کا حکم دیا گیا تو ان میں سے ایک فریق کا حال یہ ہے کہ لوگوں سے ایسا ڈر رہے ہیں جیسا خدا سے ڈرنا چاہیے یا کچھ اس سے بھی بڑھ کر کہتے ہیں خدایا! یہ ہم پر لڑائی کا حکم کیوں لکھ دیا؟ کیوں نہ ہمیں ابھی کچھ اور مہلت دی؟ ان سے کہو، دنیا کا سرمایہ زندگی تھوڑا ہے، اور آخرت ایک خدا ترس انسان کے لیے زیادہ بہتر ہے، اور تم پر ظلم ایک شمہ برابر بھی نہ کیا جائے گا - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
کیا تم نے انہیں نہ دیکھا جن سے کہا گیا اپنے ہاتھ روک لو اور نماز قائم رکھو اور زکوٰة دو پھر جب ان پر جہاد فرض کیا گیا تو ان میں بعضے لوگوں سے ایسا ڈرنے لگے جیسے اللہ سے ڈرے یا اس سے بھی زائد اور بولے اے رب ہمارے! تو نے ہم پر جہاد کیوں فرض کردیا تھوڑی مدت تک ہمیں اور جینے دیا ہوتا، تم فرما دو کہ دنیا کا برتنا تھوڑا ہے اور ڈر والوں کے لئے آخرت اچھی اور تم پر تاگے برابر ظلم نہ ہوگا - Ahmed Raza
⦿
کیا تم نے ان لوگوں کو نہیں دیکھا جن سے کہا گیا تھا کہ اپنے ہاتھ روکے رہو اور نماز پڑھو اور زکوٰۃ ادا کرو۔ پھر جب ان پر جدال و قتال فرض کر دیا گیا۔ تو ان میں سے ایک گروہ انسانوں سے اس طرح ڈرنے لگا، جیسے اللہ سے ڈرنا چاہیے یا اس سے بھی زیادہ۔ اور کہنے لگا پروردگار! تو نے کیوں (اتنا جلدی) ہم پر جہاد فرض کر دیا۔ اور تھوڑی مدت تک ہمیں مہلت کیوں نہ دی؟ (اے نبی) کہہ دیجیے کہ دنیا کا سامان بہت تھوڑا ہے اور جو متقی و پرہیزگار ہے اس کے لئے آخرت بہت بہتر ہے اور تم پر کھجور کی گھٹلی کے ریشہ برابر (ذرہ بھی) ظلم نہیں کیا جائے گا۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
