بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
33:1 O Prophet, seek Allah and do not follow the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
33:2 Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord. Allah is aware of all that you do.
33:4 Allah has not put two hearts in any man. He has not made your wives your mothers, whom you forbade yourselves by likening them to your mothers, nor has He made your adopted children your own children. All this is but the words of your mouths. Allah speaks the truth and He guides.
33:5 Call them in a way that does not cut them off from their natural fathers. This is more right in the sight of Allah. If you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in religion and members of your family. There is no responsibility on you for what you do by mistake, except what you do intentionally. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
33:6 The Prophet is closer to the believers than they are to themselves, and his wives are their mothers. According to the Book of Allah, the believers should give priority to those who are related to them among the emigrants. Except that you do good to your friends. These things are codified in this Book.
33:7 We took a covenant (promise) from the Prophets: from you, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus son of Mary. We had taken from them a firm promise.
33:8 So We will ask the righteous about their righteousness. And for the disbelievers a painful torment has been prepared.
33:9 O you who believe, when armies attack you, remember the favor of Allah, Who sends upon you a wind and armies that you do not see. Allah is All-Seeing of all that you do.
33:10 They attacked you from above you and from below you. And the eyes were turned, and the hearts were in their mouths, and you were harboring various doubts about Allah.
33:12 "The hypocrites and those whose hearts were diseased were saying: "The promise of Allah and His messenger to us is nothing but a pipe dream!"
33:13 "A group of them were saying, "People of Yathrib, you cannot hold on any longer; go back."The other group of them were asking permission from the Prophet, saying, "Our houses are unprotected,"even though their houses were protected. Their whole purpose was to escape."
33:14 If it had been occupied and they had been asked to join the enemy, they would have joined them without hesitation.
33:15 They had promised Allah before that they would not turn their backs and flee. Every promise made to Allah will be questioned.
33:16 "Say, "Fleeing from death or war will not benefit you. Even if you flee, you will not live long."
33:17 "Say, "If Allah wills for you an evil or a mercy, who will protect you against Him? They will not find any protector or helper besides Allah."
33:18 "Allah knows those among you who hinder and those who say to their brothers, "Come to us". They seldom join the defense."
33:19 They are stingy in their dealings with you. When danger comes, you see them looking at you with their eyes wide with fear, like one who has fallen into a faint of death. And when the danger passes, they hurt you with sharp tongues, being fond of wealth. Such people are not believers. That is why Allah makes their deeds vain. This is easy for Allah.
33:20 They think that the parties are not gone. If the Parties were to come again, they would wish that they were among the Bedouin Arabs in the desert and that they could ask about your news from afar. Even if they were among you, they would fight very little.
