Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
and had said,
‘Allah is sufficient for us;
Allah will give to us out of His grace, and His Apostle.
Indeed to Allah do we eagerly turn.’
60 Charities are only for the poor and the needy,
and those employed to collect them,
and those whose hearts are to be reconciled,
and for [the freedom of] the slaves and the debtors,
and in the way of Allah,
and for the traveller.
[This is] an ordinance from Allah,
and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
61 Among them are those who torment the Prophet,
and say, ‘He is an ear.’1
Say, ‘An ear that is good for you.
He has faith in Allah and trusts the faithful,
and is a mercy for those of you who have faith.’
As for those who torment the Apostle of Allah,
there is a painful punishment for them.
62 They swear to you by Allah, to please you;
but Allah and His Apostle are worthier
that they should please Him,
should they be faithful.
63 Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah
and His Apostle,
there awaits him the Fire of hell,
to remain in it [forever]?
That is the great disgrace.
64 The hypocrites are apprehensive
1 That is, easily persuadable, unquestioning and naive.
