Translation of Verse 65-69

65. O Prophet! Motivate the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are one hundred of you, they will overcome one thousand of the disbelievers, for they are a people who do not comprehend.

66. Now Allah has lightened your burden, for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there be one thousand, they will overcome two thousand, by Allah's Will. And Allah is with the steadfast.

67. It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives until he has thoroughly subdued the land. You ˹believers˺ settled with the fleeting gains of this world, 347 while Allah's aim ˹for you˺ is the Hereafter. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

68. Had it not been for a prior decree from Allah, 348 you would have certainly been disciplined with a tremendous punishment for whatever ˹ransom˺ you have taken.

69. Now enjoy what you have taken, for it is lawful and good. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.


Commentary

347. i.e., ransom.

348. The decree that ransoming captives will be allowed.
