Palmer ... "Fought strenuously."

There is nothing in this passage to warrant a departure from the literal
and proper signification of the word _Jahadoo_, and using it in a
post-Koranic sense.

[Sidenote: (14) The Spoil, VIII, 76.]

26. "And they who have believed and have since fled their country,
(_Jahadoo_) toiled with you, these also are of you. Those who are
united by the ties of blood are the nearest of kin to each other.
This is in the Book of God. Verily God knoweth all things."

Sale ... "Fought."
Rodwell ... "Fought."
Palmer ... "Fought strenuously."

There is no valid excuse here for changing the signification of the word
_Jahadoo_ into that which is never used in the Koran or in the classical
Arabic.

[Sidenote: (15) The Cattle, VI, 109.]

27. "With their (_Jahd_) most binding oath have they sworn by
God...."

Sale ... "Most solemn oath."
Rodwell ... "Most binding oath."
Palmer ... "Most strenuous oath."

[Sidenote: (16) Mohammad, XLVII, 33]

28. "And We will surely test you until We know (_Mojahideena_) who
did their utmost, and who were the steadfast among you; and We will
test the reports."

Sale ... "Who fight valiantly."
Rodwell ... "Valiant."
Palmer ... "Fought valiantly."

"_Mojahid_" is not synonymous with "_Mokatil_"

[Sidenote: (17) Battle Array, LXI, 11.]

29. "Believe in God and His Apostle and (_Jahidoo_) do strive in
the way of God with your wealth and your persons!"

Sale ... "Who fought valiantly."
Rodwell ... "Who fought valiantly."
Palmer ... "Fight strenuously."

Devotion or worship has been divided into two kinds,--bodily, which also
includes mental; and pecuniary or monetary, and the believers are
exhorted here to worship God both bodily and mentally.

[Sidenote: (18) Women, IV, 97.]

30. "Those believers who sit at home free from trouble and those
who (1, _Mojahidoona_) toil in the way of God with their substance
and their persons shall not be treated alike. God has assigned to
those who (2, _Majahadoona_) strive with their persons and with
their substance a rank above those who sit at home. Goodly promises
hath He made to all; but God hath assigned to those (3,
_Mojahadina_) who make efforts a rich recompense
