Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

a group of them conspire overnight
[to do] something other than what you say.
But Allah records what they conspire overnight.
So disregard them and put your trust in Allah,
for Allah suffices as trustee.

82 Do they not contemplate the Qur’ān?
Had it been from [someone] other than Allah,
they would have surely found much discrepancy in it.
83 When a report of safety or alarm comes to them,
they immediately broadcast it;
but had they referred it to the Apostle
or to those vested with authority among them,
those of them who investigate would have ascertained it.
And were it not for Allah’s grace upon you
and His mercy,
you would have surely followed Satan,
[all] except a few.
84 So fight in the way of Allah:
you are responsible only for yourself,
but urge on the faithful [to fight].
Maybe Allah will curb the might of the faithless,
for Allah is greatest in might
and severest in punishment.
85 Whoever intercedes for a good cause
shall receive a share of it,
and whoever intercedes for an evil cause
shall share its burden,
and Allah is prepotent over all things.
