Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

(How much more seemly) had they been content with that which Allah and His messenger had given them and had said: Allah sufficeth us. Allah will give us of His bounty, and (also) His messenger. Unto Allah we are suppliants.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said, "Sufficient unto us is Allah! Allah and His Messenger will soon give us of His bounty: to Allah do we turn our hopes!" (that would have been the right course).

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم قال تعالى منبها لهم على ما هو خير من ذلك لهم ، فقال : ( ولو أنهم رضوا ما آتاهم الله ورسوله وقالوا حسبنا الله سيؤتينا الله من فضله ورسوله إنا إلى الله راغبون ) فتضمنت هذه الآية الكريمة أدبا عظيما وسرا شريفا ، حيث جعل الرضا بما آتاه الله ورسوله والتوكل على الله وحده ، وهو قوله : ( وقالوا حسبنا الله ) وكذلك الرغبة إلى الله وحده في التوفيق لطاعة الرسول وامتثال أوامره ، وترك زواجره ، وتصديق أخباره ، والاقتفاء بآثاره .
