Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks Martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( إن يمسسكم قرح فقد مس القوم قرح مثله ) أي : إن كنتم قد أصابتكم جراح وقتل منكم طائفة ، فقد أصاب أعداءكم قريب من ذلك من قتل وجراح ( وتلك الأيام نداولها بين الناس ) أي : نديل عليكم الأعداء تارة ، وإن كانت العاقبة لكم لما لنا في ذلك من الحكم ، ولهذا قال تعالى :( وليعلم الله الذين آمنوا ) قال ابن عباس : في مثل هذا لنرى ، أي : من يصبر على مناجزة الأعداء ( ويتخذ منكم شهداء ) يعني : يقتلون في سبيله ، ويبذلون مهجهم في مرضاته . ( والله لا يحب الظالمين )
