English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

25:21

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِى ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ ۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُونَ ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And We never sent any Messengers before thee but surely they ate food and walked in the streets. And We make some of you a trial for others. Will you then be steadfast? And thy Lord is All-Seeing.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ہم نے تجھ سے پہلے کوئی رسول نہیں بھیجے مگر وہ بالضرور کھانا کھاتے تھے اور بازاروں میں چلتے تھے۔ اور ہم نے تم میں سے بعض کو بعض کے لئے ابتلا ءکا ذریعہ بنا دیا۔ کیا تم صبر کروگے؟ اور تیرا ربّ گہری نگاہ رکھنے والاہے۔

French

Et Nous n’avons jamais envoyé avant toi de Messagers qui n’aient mangé de la nourriture, ou circulé dans les marchés. Et Nous faisons de certains d’entre vous une épreuve pour d’autres. Serez-vous alors endurants ? Et ton Seigneur voit très bien.

German

Auch vor dir schickten Wir keine Gesandten, die nicht Speise aßen und in den Gassen umherwandelten. Allein Wir machen die einen unter euch zur Prüfung für die anderen. Wollt ihr denn standhaft sein? Und dein Herr ist allsehend.

Chinese

凡是我在你以前所派遣的使者, [a]都是吃饭、行走街上的, 我使你们作为彼此考验的媒介, (我要看) 你们 (信仰者) 是否忍耐。(信仰者啊!) 你的养主是完全看清楚 (你的情况) 的。

21:9.

Italian

E Noi non abbiamo inviato alcun messaggero prima di te che non si nutrisse di cibo e non camminasse per le strade. E di alcuni di voi Noi facciamo strumento di prova per altri. Non vorrete allora/i essere saldi? E il tuo Signore è Colui che tutto vede.

Spanish

Nunca enviamos a Mensajero alguno antes que a ti que no comiera alimentos ni anduviera por las calles. Y a varios de vosotros os convertimos en prueba para los demás. ¿Seréis, pues, perseverantes? porque tu Señor es Quien todo lo ve.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور تجھ سے پہلے ہم نے جتنے بھی رسول بھیجے تھے‘ وہ سب کے سب کھانا کھاتے تھے اور بازاروں میں چلتے تھے۔ اور ہم نے تم میں سے بعض کو بعض کے لئے آزمائش کا ذریعہ بنایا ہے (یہ دیکھنے کے لئے) کہ کیا تم (مسلمان) صبر کرتے ہو (یا نہیں) اور (اے مسلمان) تیرا رب (حالات کو) بہت دیکھنے والا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And We did not send any Messengers before thee but surely [a]they ate food and walked in the streets. And We make some of you a trial for others to see whether you are steadfast. And thy Lord is All-Seeing.

21:9.

English - Five Volume Translation

And We never sent any Messengers before thee but surely [a]they ate food and walked in the streets. And We make some of you a trial for others. Will you then be steadfast? And thy Lord is All-Seeing.[2657]

21:9.

Commentary:

This verse again answers from another angle the commonplace objection of disbelievers that the Holy Prophet lived like an ordinary man (v. 8). It means to say that the Holy Prophet’s mission is not something novel. He is just like those Divine Messengers who have gone before him. He is an ordinary mortal like them and like them he eats and talks and moves about and, like the followers of those Prophets, his followers also will have to suffer for the cause they hold dear. If these things did not stand in the way of the earlier Prophets being accepted as Divine Messengers, why should they in his case, and why should new criteria be devised to test his truth?

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے محمدؐ، تم سے پہلے جو رسول بھی ہم نے بھیجے ہیں وہ سب بھی کھانا کھانے والے اور بازاروں میں چلنے پھرنے والے لوگ ہی تھے دراصل ہم نے تم لوگوں کو ایک دوسرے کے لیے آزمائش کا ذریعہ بنا دیا ہے کیا تم صبر کرتے ہو؟ تمہارا رب سب کچھ دیکھتا ہے

English - Sahih

And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور ہم نے تجھ سے پہلے جتنے پیغمبر بھیجے وہ کھانا بھی کھاتے تھے اور بازاروں میں بھی چلتے پھرتے تھے اورہم نے تمہیں ایک دوسرے کے لیے آزمائش بنایا کیا تم ثابت قدم رہتے ہو اور تیرا رب سب کچھ دیکھنے والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

And not We sent before you any Messengers but indeed, they [surely] ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you for others a trial, will you have patience? And is your Lord All-Seer.
