Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
9 [They are as well] for those who were settled in the land 1
and [abided] in faith before them,
who love those who migrate toward them,
and do not find in their breasts any need
for that which is given to them,2
but prefer [the Immigrants] to themselves,
though poverty be their own lot.
And those who are saved from their own greed
—it is they who are the felicitous.
10 And [also for] those who came in after them,
who say, ‘Our Lord,
forgive us and our brethren
who were our forerunners in the faith,
and do not put any rancour in our hearts
toward the faithful.
Our Lord, You are indeed most kind and merciful.’
11 Have you not regarded the hypocrites
who say to their brethren,
the faithless from among the People of the Book:
‘If you are expelled,
we will surely go out with you,
and we will never obey anyone against you,
and if you are fought against
we will surely help you,’
and Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars.
12 Surely, if they were expelled
they would not go out with them,
1 That is, Madīnah, to which the early Muslims migrated with the Prophet (ṣ).
2 That is, to the Immigrants.
