9:119
O ye who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are true (in
word and deed)
9:120
It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs
of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah’s Messenger, nor
to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer
or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,-
whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of
Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received
any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the
reward to be lost of those who do good;-
9:121
Nor could they spend anything (for the cause) – small or great- nor
cut across a valley, but the deed is inscribed to their credit: that
Allah may requite their deed with the best (possible reward).
9:122
Nor should the Believers all go forth together: if a contingent from
every expedition remained behind, they could devote themselves to
studies in religion, and admonish the people when they return to
them,- that thus they (may learn) to guard themselves (against
evil).
9:123
O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and
let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those
who fear Him.
9:124
Whenever there cometh down a sura, some of them say: “Which of
you has had His faith increased by it?” Yea, those who believe, –
their faith is increased and they do rejoice.
9:125
But those in whose hearts is a disease,- it will add doubt to their
doubt, and they will die in a state of Unbelief.
