008.012 Y: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." P: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. S: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. 008.013 Y: This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment. P: That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, (for him) lo! Allah is severe in punishment. S: This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Messenger; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Messenger-- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil). 008.014 Y: Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist Allah, is the penalty of the Fire." P: That (is the award), so taste it, and (know) that for disbelievers is the torment of the Fire. S: This-- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire. 008.015 Y: O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them. P: O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. S: O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. 008.016 Y: If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)! P: Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end. S: And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be. 008.017 Y: It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah'S: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things). P: Ye (Muslims) slew them not, but Allah slew them. And thou (Muhammad) threwest not when thou didst throw, but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by a fair test from Him. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
