Stem جُنُودٍ - Quranic Morphology

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

If you help him not, then know that Allah helped him even when the disbelievers drove him forth while he was one of the two when they were both in the cave, when he said to his companion, ‘Grieve not, for Allah is with us.’ Then Allah sent down His peace on him, and strengthened him with hosts which you did not see, and humbled the word of those who disbelieved, and it is the word of Allah alone which is supreme. And Allah is Mighty, Wise.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اگر تم اس (رسول) کی مدد نہ بھی کرو تو اللہ (پہلے بھی) اس کی مدد کر چکا ہے جب اسے اُن لوگوں نے جنہوں نے کفر کیا (وطن سے) نکال دیا تھا اس حال میں کہ وہ دو میں سے ایک تھا۔ جب وہ دونوں غار میں تھے۔ اور وہ اپنے ساتھی سے کہہ رہا تھا کہ غم نہ کر یقیناً اللہ ہمارے ساتھ ہے۔ پس اللہ نے اس پر اپنی سکینت نازل کی اور اس کی ایسے لشکروں سے مدد کی جن کو تم نے کبھی نہیں دیکھا۔ اور اس نے ان لوگوں کی بات نیچی کر دکھائی جنہوں نے کفر کیا تھا۔ اور بات اللہ ہی کی غالب ہوتی ہے اور اللہ کامل غلبہ والا (اور) بہت حکمت والا ہے۔

French

Si vous ne lui venez pas en aide, alors sachez qu’Allāh l’a aidé, même lorsque les mécréants l’ont chassé, et qu’il était l’un des deux quand ils étaient tous deux dans la grotte, quand il dit à son compagnon : « Ne t’afflige pas, assurément Allāh est avec nous. » Alors Allāh fit descendre Sa paix sur lui, et envoya à son secours des troupes que vous n’avez pas vues, et Il abaissa la parole des mécréants, et il n’y a que la parole d’Allāh qui soit suprême. Et Allāh est Puissant, Sage.

German

Wenn ihr ihm nicht helfet, so (wisset, dass) Allah ihm auch damals half, als die Ungläubigen ihn zu entweichen zwangen selbander* – wie sie da beide in der Höhle waren, und er sprach zu seinem Begleiter: "Traure nicht, denn Allah ist mit uns." Da senkte Allah Seinen Frieden auf ihn und stärkte ihn mit Heerscharen, die ihr nicht saht, und erniedrigte das Wort der Ungläubigen, und es ist Allahs Wort allein das höchste. Und Allah ist allmächtig, allweise.

Chinese

如果你们不协助这位 (使者), (要记着) 当不信者在其处于二者之一的情况下, 逐出了他, 当时他俩在山洞里, 他 (使者) 对他的同伴说: “不要忧愁, 安拉确是和我们同在的。”于是[b]安拉降赐了他自己的安宁, 以你们所看不见的军队帮助了他, 并降低了不信者的言语 (的价值), 只有安拉的言语才是至高无上的。安拉是最优胜的, 最明哲的。[567]

Italian

Se voi non lo aiutate, sappiate che Allah lo ha già aiutato persino quando i miscredenti lo cacciarono mentre egli era uno dei due, quando essi erano ambedue nella caverna, quando egli diceva al compagno: «Non addolorarti, perché certamente Allah è con noi.» Quindi Allah fece scendere su di lui la Sua pace e lo rafforzò con eserciti che voi non vedeste, e umiliò la parola dei miscredenti, e solo la parola di Allah è suprema. E Allah è il Potente, il Saggio.

Spanish

Si no le ayudáis, sabed que Al-lah le ayudó incluso cuando los incrédulos lo desterraron, siendo uno de los dos que estaban en la caverna, cuando dijo a su compañero: “No te aflijas, pues Al-lah está con nosotros”. Entonces Al-lah le envió Su paz, y lo fortaleció con huestes que vosotros no visteis y humilló la palabra de los incrédulos, pues sólo la palabra de Al-lah es la que es suprema, ya que Al-lah es Poderoso, Sabio.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اگر تم اس رسول کی مدد نہ کرو تو (یاد رکھو کہ) اللہ اس کی اس وقت بھی مدد کر چکا ہے جبکہ اسے کافروں نے دو میں سے ایک کی صورت میں نکال[1] دیا تھا جبکہ وہ دونوں غار میں تھے اور جبکہ وہ اپنے ساتھی (ابوبکر) سے کہہ رہا تھا کہ کسی گذشتہ بھول چوک پر غم نہ کرو۔ اللہ یقیناً ہمارے ساتھ ہے۔ پس اللہ نے اس پر اپنی سکینت نازل کی۔ اور اس کی ایسے لشکروں سے مدد کی جن کو تم نہیں دیکھتے تھے اور ان لوگوں کی بات کو نیچا کر دیا جنہوں نے کفر کیا تھا اور اللہ ہی کی بات اونچی ہو کر رہتی ہے اور اللہ بڑا غالب (اور) حکمت والا ہے۔

If you help him not, then know that Allah helped him even when the disbelievers drove him forth while he was one of the two, when they were both in the Cave, when he said to his Companion, ‘Grieve not, for Allah is with us.’ Then [a]Allah sent down His peace on him.[1185] and succoured him with hosts which you did not see, and humbled the word of those who disbelieved, and it is the word of Allah alone which is supreme.

Commentary:

The reference in this verse is to the flight of the Holy Prophet from Mecca to Medina when, accompanied by Abu Bakr, he took shelter in a cave called Thaur. See note on 8:31. The Arabic words rendered as "one of the two" literally mean "the second of the two" and refer to the Holy Prophet and Abu Bakr. The Holy Prophet has been referred to as "the second" because in the Quranic idiom the more important member of the group is referred to as being the last part, i.e. the final figure. For instance see 5:74 where God is referred to as being "the Third of the Trinity" according to the Christian doctrine.

The verse sheds important light on the high spiritual status of Abu Bakr, who accompanied the Holy Prophet in his flight from Mecca and was thus one of "the two" referred to in the verse. It is worthy of note that when at a time of danger, the Israelites anxiously addressed Moses, saying, We are surely overtaken, he replied, nay speak not thus for my Lord is with me. He will direct me aright (26:62, 63). In a similar situation, however, the Holy Prophet, when Abu Bakr expressed anxiety, calmly said: Grieve not, for Allah is with us. This speaks volumes for Abu Bakr’s spiritual greatness, for the pronoun "us"- signifies that God was not only with the Holy Prophet but with Abu Bakr as well. Again, it is on record that, while in the cave, Abu Bakr began to weep, and when asked by the Holy Prophet why he was weeping he replied, "I do not weep for my life, because if I die, it is only the question of a single life. But if you die, O Prophet of God, it will be the death of Islam and of the entire Muslim community" (Zurqani).

The pronoun in the clause, Allah sent down His peace on him, stands for Abu Bakr and not the Holy Prophet, for the Holy Prophet had all along enjoyed peace. The succeeding pronoun in the clause, strengthened him with hosts, refers to the Holy Prophet. This divergence in the use of similar pronouns is permissible in Arabic, being known as, انتشار ضمائر (see 2:75; 48:10).

The words, and (God) humbled the word of those who disbelieved, mean that God frustrated the designs of the disbelievers and they failed to accomplish what they desired. See also 8:31.

The verse also hints that even if none else had accompanied the Holy Prophet in the hazardous expedition to Tabuk, Abu Bakr would certainly have done so, just as he did on the occasion of his flight from Mecca. The verse thus provides a great testimonial to the strength and sincerity of Abu Bakr’s faith.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

تم نے اگر نبیؐ کی مدد نہ کی تو کچھ پروا نہیں، اللہ اُس کی مدد اس وقت کر چکا ہے جب کافروں نے اسے نکال دیا تھا، جب وہ صرف دو میں کا دوسرا تھا، جب وہ دونوں غار میں تھے، جب وہ اپنی ساتھی سے کہہ رہا تھا کہ "غم نہ کر، اللہ ہمارے ساتھ ہے" اُس وقت اللہ نے اس پر اپنی طرف سے سکون قلب نازل کیا اور اس کی مدد ایسے لشکروں سے کی جو تم کو نظر نہ آتے تھے اور کافروں کا بول نیچا کر دیا اور اللہ کا بول تو اونچا ہی ہے، اللہ زبردست اور دانا و بینا ہے

English - Sahih

If you do not aid the Prophet - Allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us." And Allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah - that is the highest. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اگرتم رسول کی مدد نہ کرو گے تو اس کی الله نے مدد کی ہے جس وقت اسے کافروں نے نکالا تھا کہ وہ دو میں سے دوسرا تھاجب وہ دونوں غار میں تھے جب وہ اپنے ساتھی سے کہہ رہا تھا تو غم نہ کھا بے شک الله ہمارے ساتھ ہے پھر الله نے اپنی طرف سے اس پر تسکین اتاری اور اس کی مدد کو وہ فوجیں بھیجیں جنہیں تم نے نہیں دیکھا اورکافروں کی بات کو پست کر دیا اور بات تو الله ہی کی بلند ہے اور الله زبردست (اور) حکمت والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

If not you help him, certainly, Allah helped him, when drove him out those who disbelieved, the second (of) the two, when they both (were) in the cave, when he said to his companion, "(Do) not grieve, indeed, Allah (is) with us." Then Allah sent down His tranquility upon him, and supported him with forces which you did not see, and made (the) word (of) those who disbelieved the lowest, while (the) Word (of) Allah it (is) the highest. And Allah (is) All-Mighty, All-Wise.

这节经文叙述的是穆圣从麦加由阿布•伯克尔陪同移居麦地那, 那时他住在一个叫索尔 (ثَوْر, Thaur) 的山洞内。经文对阿布•伯克尔非常高的精神地位作了些说明。他被称为 “那两个人中间的一个”, 这两个人是安拉确实和他们在一起而且很亲近的。据记载, 在那山洞里, 阿布•伯克尔开始哭泣, 当穆圣问他为什么哭泣时, 他回答说, “安拉的先知啊, 我不是为了我自己的生命而哭, 因为如果我死, 那不过是我一个人的生命问题。但是如果你死, 那将是伊斯兰教和整个穆斯林社会的死亡” (زُرْقَانِی, Zurqani)。

ہجرت کے وقت۔

English - Arberry

If you do not help him, yet God has helped him already, when the unbelievers drove him forth the second of two, when the two were in the Cave, when he said to his companion, 'Sorrow not; surely God is with us.' Then God sent down on him His Shechina, and confirmed him with legions you did not see; and He made the word of the unbelievers the lowest; and God's word is the uppermost; God is All-mighty, All-wise.

English - Maududi

It will matter little if you do not help the Prophet, for Allah surely helped him when the unbelievers drove him out of his home and he was but one of the two when they were in the cave, and when he said to his companion: "Do not grieve. Allah is with us." Then Allah caused His tranquillity to descend upon him, and supported him with hosts you did not see, He humbled the word of the unbelievers. As for Allah's Word, it is inherently uppermost. Allah is All-Powerful, All-Wise.

English - Ahmed Ali

If you do not help (the Prophet, remember) God had helped him when the infidels had forced him to leave (and he was) one of two. When both of them were in the cave, he said to his companion: "Do not grieve, for God is with us." Then God sent divine peace on him, and invisible armies for his help, and made the unbelievers' purpose abject. Most exalted is God's word, for God is all-mighty and all-wise.

English - Yusuf Ali

If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.

The pronoun "him" in the clause "His peace on him" may refer to Abu Bakr since the Holy Prophet had all along been perfectly calm and quiet and the pronoun "him" in the clause "succoured him," however, refers to the Holy Prophet. This divergence in the use of pronouns known as Intisharud- Dama’ir is of common use in Arabic. See 48:10.

1186

The reference in this verse is to the emigration of the Holy Prophet from Mecca to Medina when, accompanied by Abu Bakr, he took shelter in a cave called Thaur. The verse sheds some light on the very high spiritual status of Abu Bakr who is referred to as "one of the two" with whom was God and whose fear God Himself allayed. It is on record that, while in the Cave, Abu Bakr began to weep, and when asked by the Holy Prophet why he was weeping he replied, "I do not weep for my life, O Prophet of God, because if I die, it is only the question of a single life. But if you die, it will be the death of Islam and of the entire Muslim community" (Zurqani).

If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the nethermost, while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

If you help him not, Allah certainly helped him when those who disbelieved expelled him -- he being the second of the two when they were both in the cave, when he said to his companion: Grieve not, surely Allah is with us. So Allah sent down His tranquillity on him and strengthened him with hosts which you saw not, and made lowest the word of those who disbelieved. And the word of Allah, that is the uppermost. And Allah is Mighty, Wise.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

If you help not the Messenger, you should know that he is not dependent upon your help. Allah helped him when the disbelievers drove him forth from his home, one of two, when they were both in the cave and he reassured his companion, saying: Be not concerned; surely, Allah is with us. Then Allah sent down tranquillity on him and strengthened him with hosts which you did not see, and brought low the boast of those who disbelieve. It is the word of Allah which is supreme; Allah is Mighty, Wise.
