3:158

Whether you die or are martyred—all of you will be gathered before Allah.

3:159

So because(of) MercyfromAllahyou dealt gentlyﱎﱏwith themAnd ifyou had beenrude(and) harsh(at) [the] heartsurely they (would have) dispersedfromﱗﱘaround youThen pardon[from] themand ask forgivenessfor themand consult theminﱟﱠthe matterThen whenyou have decidedthen put trustonﱥﱦAllahIndeedAllahlovesthe ones who put trust (in Him)(159)

It is out of Allah’s mercy that you ˹O Prophet˺ have been lenient with them. Had you been cruel or hard-hearted, they would have certainly abandoned you. So pardon them, ask Allah’s forgiveness for them, and consult with them in ˹conducting˺ matters. Once you make a decision, put your trust in Allah. Surely Allah loves those who trust in Him.

3:160

Ifhelps youAllahthen not(can) overcomeﱱﱲ[for] youand ifHe forsakes youthen who(is)the one whocan help youfromﱺﱻafter HimAnd onAllah let put (their) trustﱿthe believers(160)

If Allah helps you, none can defeat you. But if He denies you help, then who else can help you? So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

3:161

And notisfor a Prophetthatﲅﲆhe defraudsAnd whoeverdefraudswill bringwhathe had defrauded(on the) Dayﲍﲎ(of) ResurrectionThenis repaid in fulleverysoulwhatit earnedand they(will) notbe wronged(161)

It is not appropriate for a prophet to illegally withhold spoils of war. And whoever does so, it will be held against them on the Day of Judgment. Then every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and none will be wronged.

3:162

So is (the one) whopursues(the) pleasure(of) Allahlike (the one) whodrawson (himself) wrathofAllahand his abodeﲣﲤ(is) helland wretched(is) the destination(162)

Are those who seek Allah’s pleasure like those who deserve Allah’s wrath? Hell is their home. What an evil destination!

3:163

They(are in varying) degreesnearﲫﲬAllahand Allah(is) All-Seerof whatthey do(163)

They ˹each˺ have varying degrees in the sight of Allah. And Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favour by raising a messenger from among them—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom. For indeed they had previously been clearly astray.

3:165

Or whenstruck youdisastersurelyyou (had) struck (them)twice of ityou saidFrom whereﳔﳕ(is) thisSayIt(is)fromﳚﳛyourselvesIndeedAllah(is) oneverythingAll-Powerful(165)

Why is it when you suffered casualties ˹at Uḥud˺—although you had made your enemy suffer twice as much ˹at Badr˺—you protested, “How could this be?”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “It is because of your disobedience.” Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.
