English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

2:262

مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

The similitude of those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah is like the similitude of a grain of corn which grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies it further for whomsoever He pleases; and Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

ان لوگوں کی مثال جو اپنے مال اللہ کی راہ میں خرچ کرتے ہیں ایسے بیج کی طرح ہے جو سات بالیں اُگاتا ہو۔ ہر بالی میں سو دانے ہوں اور اللہ جسے چاہے (اس سے بھی) بہت بڑھا کر دیتا ہے۔ اور اللہ وسعت عطا کرنے والا (اور) دائمی علم رکھنے والا ہے۔

French

La similitude de ceux qui dépensent leurs biens pour la cause d’Allāh est comme la similitude d’un grain qui produit sept épis, et chaque épi contient cent grains. Et Allāh le multiplie davantage pour celui qu’Il veut et Allāh est Munificent, Omniscient.

German

Die ihr Gut hingeben für Allahs Sache, sie gleichen einem Samenkorn, das sieben Ähren treibt, hundert Körner in jeder Ähre. Allah vermehrt (es) weiter, wem Er will; und Allah ist huldreich, allwissend.

Chinese

[a]在安拉的道路上消费自己财富的人, 其情况正如那一粒谷种。它生产了七颗谷穗, 每颗谷穗都有百颗谷粒。安拉给与他喜欢的人重重的报酬。安拉是无限宽容的, 全知的。[200]

2:266; 30:40.

在以前的许多经文中指出, 安拉给予死后的民族以应得的新生命, 这是安拉的一个法则, 并且拿以色列人的情况作为一个实例说明。经文中还进一步指出, 伊布拉欣的后裔将振兴四次, 以色列子孙和伊司马仪子孙各振兴两次。为了给穆斯林许约的振兴作准备, 安拉重新用民族进步的方法, 并且劝勉信者们为安拉的事业慷慨地花费。

Italian

L'esempio di coloro che dispensano le loro ricchezze per la causa di Allah è come un chicco da cui crescono sette pannocchie, ciascuna con cento chicchi. E Allah lo moltiplica ulteriormente per chiunque Gli piaccia; e Allah è il Munifico, l'Onnisciente.

Spanish

Los que emplean sus bienes en la causa de Al-lah son semejantes a un grano de trigo que da siete espigas, y en cada espiga hay cien granos. Y Al-lah lo multiplica aún más para quien Le place; y Al-lah es Magnánimo, Omnisciente.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

جو لوگ اپنے مالوں کو اللہ کی راہ میں خرچ کرتے ہیں ان (کے اس فعل) کی حالت اس دانہ کی حالت کے مشابہ ہے جو سات بالیں اگائے (اور) ہر بالی میں سو دانہ ہو۔ اور اللہ جس کے لئے چاہتا ہے‘ (اس سے بھی) بڑھا (بڑھا کر) دیتا ہے اور اللہ وسعت دینے والا (اور) بہت جاننے والا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

The [a]similitude of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like the similitude of a grain of corn which grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies it further for whomsoever He pleases and Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing.[330]

2:266; 30:40.

In the foregoing verses, it was pointed out that it is a Divine law that God gives new life to deserving nations after they become dead, and the case of the Israelites was mentioned as an instance. It was further indicated that the progeny of Abraham would rise four times, the Israelites and the Ishmaelites each rising twice. In order to prepare Muslims for the promised rise, God reverts to the means of national progress and exhorts the Faithful to spend freely in the cause of God.

English - Five Volume Translation

The [a]similitude of those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah is like the similitude of a grain of corn which grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies it further for whomsoever He pleases; and Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing.[268]

2:266; 30:40.

Commentary:

In the foregoing verses, it was pointed out that it is a law of God that He gives new life to deserving nations after they have become dead, and the case of the Israelites was mentioned as an instance. It was further indicated that the progeny of Abraham would rise four times, the Israelites and the Ishmaelites each rising twice. Now, in order to prepare Muslims for the promised rise, God reverts to the means of national progress and exhorts the Faithful to spend freely in the cause of God, pointing out that their case is like that of a seed which is multiplied 700 times and even more. Thus 700 times is the least reward that will be given to Muslims, and there is no limit to what God will bestow over and above this. History shows that this promise was fulfilled to the very letter; for the reward which God gave to the early Muslims in this world was not only 700 times of what they spent in the cause of Allah but immeasurably greater; and the reward in the world to come will certainly be greater still.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

جو لوگ اپنے مال اللہ کی راہ میں صرف کرتے ہیں، اُن کے خرچ کی مثال ایسی ہے، جیسے ایک دانہ بویا جائے اور اس سے سات بالیں نکلیں اور ہر بال میں سو دانے ہوں اِسی طرح اللہ جس کے عمل کو چاہتا ہے، افزونی عطا فرماتا ہے وہ فراخ دست بھی ہے اور علیم بھی

English - Sahih

The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

ان لوگوں کی مثال جو الله کی راہ میں مال خرچ کرتے ہیں ایسی ہے کہ جیسے ایک دانہ کہ اگائے سات بالیں ہر بال میں سو سو دانے اور الله جس کے واسطے چاہے بڑھاتا ہے اور الله بڑی وسعت جاننے والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

Example (of) those who spend their wealth in (the) way (of) Allah, (is) like a grain which grows seven ears, in each ear hundred grain(s). And Allah gives manifold to whom He wills. And Allah (is) All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.
