Surah Al-Ĥashr (The Exile) in English

1. ذلك بأنهم شاقوا الله ورسوله ومن يشاق الله فإن الله شديد العقاب

   4

   That is because they defied Allah and His Apostle; and whoever defies Allah, Allah is indeed severe in retribution.

   dhālika bi-ʾannahum shāqqū llāha wa-rasūlahū wa-man yushāqqi llāha fa-ʾinna llāha shadīdu l-ʿiqābi

2. ما قطعتم من لينة أو تركتموها قائمة على أصولها فبإذن الله وليخزي الفاسقين

   5

   Whatever palm trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by Allah’s will and in order that He may disgrace the transgressors.

   mā qaṭaʿtum min līnatin ʾaw taraktumūhā qāʾimatan ʿalā ʾuṣūlihā fa-bi-ʾidhni llāhi wa-li-yukhziya l-fāsiqīna

3. وما أفاء الله على رسوله منهم فما أوجفتم عليه من خيل ولا ركاب ولكن الله يسلط رسله على من يشاء والله على كل شيء قدير

   6

   The spoils that Allah gave to His Apostle from them, you did not spur any horse for its sake, nor any riding camel, but Allah makes His apostles prevail over whomever He wishes, and Allah has power over all things.

   wa-mā ʾafāʾa llāhu ʿalā rasūlihī minhum fa-mā ʾawjaftum ʿalayhi min khaylin wa-lā rikābin wa-lākinna llāha yusalliṭu rusulahū ʿalā man yashāʾu wa-llāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun

4. ما أفاء الله على رسوله من أهل القرى فلله وللرسول ولذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل كي لا يكون دولة بين الأغنياء منكم وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا واتقوا الله إن الله شديد العقاب

   7

   The spoils that Allah gave to His Apostle from the people of the townships, are for Allah and the Apostle, the relatives and the orphans, the needy and the traveller, so that they do not circulate among the rich among you. Take whatever the Apostle gives you, and refrain from whatever he forbids you, and be wary of Allah. Indeed Allah is severe in retribution.

   mā ʾafāʾa llāhu ʿalā rasūlihī min ʾahli l-qurā fa-li-llāhi wa-li-r-rasūli wa-li-dhī l-qurbā wa-l-yatāmā wa-l-masākīni wa-bni s-sabīli kay lā yakūna dūlatan bayna l-ʾaghniyāʾi minkum wa-mā ʾātākumu r-rasūlu fa-khudhūhu wa-mā nahākum ʿanhu fa-ntahū wa-ttaqū llāha ʾinna llāha shadīdu l-ʿiqābi

5. للفقراء المهاجرين الذين أخرجوا من ديارهم وأموالهم يبتغون فضلا من الله ورضوانا وينصرون الله ورسوله أولئك هم الصادقون

   8

   [They are also] for the poor Emigrants who have been expelled from their homes and [wrested of] their possessions, who seek grace from Allah and [His] pleasure and help Allah and His Apostle. It is they who are the truthful.

   li-l-fuqarāʾi l-muhājirīna lladhīna ʾukhrijū min diyārihim wa-ʾamwālihim yabtaghūna faḍlan mina llāhi wa-riḍwānan wa-yanṣurūna llāha wa-rasūlahū ʾulāʾika humu ṣ-ṣādiqūna

6. والذين تبوءوا الدار والإيمان من قبلهم يحبون من هاجر إليهم ولا يجدون في صدورهم حاجة مما أوتوا ويؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة ومن يوق شح نفسه فأولئك هم المفلحون

   9

   [They are as well] for those who were settled in the land and [abided] in faith before them, who love those who migrate toward them, and do not find in their breasts any privation for that which is given to them, but prefer [the Immigrants] to themselves, though poverty be their own lot. And those who are saved from their own greed—it is they who are the felicitous.

   wa-lladhīna tabawwaʾū d-dāra wa-l-ʾīmāna min qablihim yuḥibbūna man hājara ʾilayhim wa-lā yajidūna fī ṣudūrihim ḥājatan mimmā ʾūtū wa-yuʾthirūna ʿalā ʾanfusihim wa-law kāna bihim khaṣāṣatun wa-man yūqa shuḥḥa nafsihī fa-ʾulāʾika humu l-mufliḥūna
