9:48

ﱁVerilyﱂthey had soughtﱃdissensionﱄbeforeﱅbeforeﱆand had upsetﱇfor youﱈthe mattersﱉuntilﱊcameﱋthe truthﱌand became manifestﱍ(the) Order of Allahﱎ(the) Order of Allahﱏwhile theyﱐdisliked (it)ﱑ(48)

They had already sought to spread discord before1 and devised every ˹possible˺ plot against you ˹O Prophet˺, until the truth came and Allah’s Will prevailed—much to their dismay.

9:49

ﱒAnd among themﱓ(is he) whoﱔsaysﱕGrant me leaveﱖGrant me leaveﱗand (do) notﱘﱙput me to trialﱚSurelyﱛinﱜthe trialﱝﱞthey have fallenﱟAnd indeedﱠHellﱡ(will) surely surroundﱢthe disbelieversﱣ(49)

There are some of them who say, “Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.”1 They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers.

9:50

ﱤIfﱥbefalls youﱦgoodﱧﱨit distresses themﱩbut ifﱪbefalls youﱫa calamityﱬthey sayﱭVerilyﱮwe tookﱯour matterﱰbeforeﱱbeforeﱲAnd they turn awayﱳwhile theyﱴ(are) rejoicingﱵ(50)

If a blessing befalls you ˹O Prophet˺, they grieve, but if a disaster befalls you, they say, “We took our precaution in advance,” and turn away, rejoicing.

9:51

ﱶSayﱷNeverﱸwill befall usﱹexceptﱺwhatﱻAllah has decreedﱼAllah has decreedﱽfor usﱾHeﱿﲀ(is) our ProtectorﲁAnd onﲂAllahﲃ[so] let the believers put (their) trustﲄ[so] let the believers put (their) trustﲅ(51)

Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

9:52

ﲆSayﲇDoﲈyou awaitﲉfor usﲊexceptﲋoneﲌﲍ(of) the two best (things)ﲎwhile weﲏ[we] awaitﲐfor youﲑthatﲒAllah will afflict youﲓAllah will afflict youﲔwith a punishmentﲕfromﲖ[near] Himﲗorﲘﲙby our handsﲚSo waitﲛindeed, weﲜwith youﲝ(are) waitingﲞ(52)

Say, “Are you awaiting anything to befall us except one of the two best things: ˹victory or martyrdom˺? But We are awaiting Allah to afflict you with torment either from Him or at our hands. So keep waiting! We too are waiting with you.”

9:53

ﲟSayﲠSpendﲡwillinglyﲢorﲣunwillinglyﲤneverﲥwill be acceptedﲦfrom youﲧIndeed, youﲨ[you] areﲩa peopleﲪdefiantly disobedientﲫ(53)

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹Whether you˺ donate willingly or unwillingly, it will never be accepted from you, for you have been a rebellious people.”

9:54

ﲬAnd notﲭprevents themﲮthatﲯis acceptedﲰfrom themﲱtheir contributionsﲲexceptﲳthat theyﲴdisbelieveﲵin Allahﲶand in His Messengerﲷand notﲸthey comeﲹ(to) the prayerﲺexceptﲻwhile theyﲼ(are) lazyﲽand notﲾthey spendﲿexceptﳀwhile theyﳁ(are) unwillingﳂ(54)

And what prevented their donations from being accepted is that they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger, they never come to prayer except half-heartedly, and they never donate except resentfully.
