59:4

ﱁThatﱂ(is) because [they]ﱃthey opposedﱄAllahﱅﱆand His MessengerﱇAnd whoeverﱈopposesﱉAllahﱊthen indeedﱋAllahﱌ(is) severeﱍ(in) penaltyﱎ(4)

This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies Allah, then Allah is truly severe in punishment.

59:5

ﱏWhateverﱐyou cut downﱑofﱒ(the) palm-treesﱓorﱔyou left themﱕstandingﱖonﱗtheir rootsﱘit (was) by the permissionﱙ(of) Allahﱚand that He may disgraceﱛthe defiantly disobedientﱜ(5)

Whatever palm trees you ˹believers˺ cut down or left standing intact, it was ˹all˺ by Allah’s Will, so that He might disgrace the rebellious.1

59:6

ﱝAnd whatﱞ(was) restoredﱟ(by) AllahﱠtoﱡHis Messengerﱢfrom themﱣthen notﱤyou made expeditionﱥfor itﱦofﱧhorsesﱨand notﱩcamelsﱪbutﱫAllahﱬgives powerﱭ(to) His MessengersﱮoverﱯwhomﱰﱱHe willsﱲAnd Allahﱳ(is) onﱴeveryﱵthingﱶAll-Powerfulﱷ(6)

As for the gains Allah has turned over to His Messenger from them—you did not ˹even˺ spur on any horse or camel for such gains. But Allah gives authority to His messengers over whoever He wills. For Allah is Most Capable of everything.

59:7

ﱸWhatﱹ(was) restoredﱺ(by) AllahﱻtoﱼHis Messengerﱽfromﱾ(the) peopleﱿ(of) the townsﲀ(it is) for Allahﲁand His Messengerﲂand for thoseﲃ(of) the kindredﲄand the orphansﲅand the needyﲆandﲇthe wayfarerﲈthatﲉnotﲊit becomesﲋa (perpetual) circulationﲌbetweenﲍthe richﲎﲏamong youﲐAnd whateverﲑgives youﲒthe Messengerﲓtake itﲔand whateverﲕhe forbids youﲖfrom itﲗﲘrefrainﲙAnd fearﲚﲛAllahﲜIndeedﲝAllahﲞ(is) severeﲟ(in) penaltyﲠ(7)

As for gains granted by Allah to His Messenger from the people of ˹other˺ lands, they are for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers so that wealth may not merely circulate among your rich. Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatever he forbids you from, leave it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment.

59:8

ﲡFor the poorﲢemigrantsﲣthose whoﲤwere expelledﲥfromﲦtheir homesﲧand their propertiesﲨseekingﲩbountyﲪfromﲫAllahﲬand pleasureﲭand helpingﲮAllahﲯﲰand His MessengerﲱThoseﲲtheyﲳ(are) the truthfulﲴ(8)

˹Some of the gains will be˺ for poor emigrants who were driven out of their homes and wealth, seeking Allah’s bounty and pleasure, and standing up for Allah and His Messenger. They are the ones true in faith.

59:9

ﲵAnd those whoﲶsettledﲷ(in) the homeﲸand (accepted) faithﲹfromﲺbefore themﲻloveﲼ(those) whoﲽemigratedﲾto themﲿand notﳀthey findﳁinﳂtheir breastsﳃany wantﳄof whatﳅthey were givenﳆbut preferﳇoverﳈthemselvesﳉeven thoughﳊwasﳋwith themﳌﳍpovertyﳎAnd whoeverﳏis savedﳐ(from) stinginessﳑ(of) his soulﳒthen thoseﳓ[they]ﳔ(are) the successful onesﳕ(9)

As for those who had settled in the city and ˹embraced˺ the faith before ˹the arrival of˺ the emigrants, they love whoever immigrates to them, never having a desire in their hearts for whatever ˹of the gains˺ is given to the emigrants. They give ˹the emigrants˺ preference over themselves even though they may be in need. And whoever is saved from the selfishness of their own souls, it is they who are ˹truly˺ successful.
