Y: O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are
asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth?
Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the
comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.

P: O ye who believe! What aileth you that when it is said unto you: Go
forth in the way of Allah, ye are bowed down to the ground with
heaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the
Hereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is but little in the
Hereafter.

S: O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it is said to
you: Go forth in Allah's way, you should incline heavily to earth; are
you contented with this world's life instead of the hereafter? But the
provision of this world's life compared with the hereafter is but
little.

Y: Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and
put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For
Allah hath power over all things.

P: If ye go not forth He will afflict you with a painful doom, and will
choose instead of you a folk other than you. Ye cannot harm Him at all.
Allah is Able to do all things.

S: If you do not go forth, He will chastise you with a painful
chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you, and you
will do Him no harm; and Allah has power over all things.

Y: 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.

P: 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.

S: If you will not aid him, Allah certainly aided him when those who
disbe
