Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And what though ye be slain in Allah's way or die therein? Surely pardon from Allah and mercy are better than all that they amass.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And if ye are slain, or die, in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ولئن قتلتم في سبيل الله أو متم لمغفرة من الله ورحمة خير مما يجمعون ) تضمن هذا أن القتل في سبيل الله ، والموت أيضا ، وسيلة إلى نيل رحمة الله وعفوه ورضوانه ، وذلك خير من البقاء في الدنيا وجمع حطامها الفاني .
