English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

It is they who disbelieved and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque and the offering which was prevented from reaching its place of sacrifice. And had it not been for believing men and believing women whom you knew not and whom you might have trampled down so that harm might have come to you on their account unknowingly, He would have permitted you to fight, but He did not do so that He might admit into His mercy whom He will. If they had been separated from the disbelievers, We would have surely punished those of them who disbelieved with a grievous punishment.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

یہی وہ لوگ ہیں جنہوں نے کفر کیا تھا اور تمہیں مسجدِ حرام سے روک دیا تھا اور قربانی کو بھی جبکہ وہ روک دی گئی تھی کہ اپنی قربان گاہ تک پہنچے۔ اور اگر ایسے مومن مرد اور مومن عورتیں نہ ہوتے جنہیں نہ جاننے کے باعث تم اپنے پاؤں تلے کچل ڈالتے تو تمہیں اُن کی طرف سے لاعلمی میں کوئی نقصان پہنچ جاتا۔ یہ اس لئے ہوا تاکہ اللہ اُسے اپنی رحمت میں داخل کرے جسے وہ چاہے ۔ اگر وہ نتھر کر الگ ہوچکے ہوتے تو ضرور ہم ان میں سے کفر کرنے والوں کو دردناک عذاب دیتے ۔

French

Ce sont eux qui ont refusé de croire, et qui vous ont empêchés d’avoir accès à la Sainte Mosquée, et ont empêché les offrandes entravées de parvenir à leur lieu d’immolation. Et s’il n’y avait pas eu des croyants et des croyantes que vous ne connaissiez pas, et que vous auriez pu fouler aux pieds, de sorte qu’à cause d’eux, un mal aurait pu vous survenir sans le savoir , Allāh vous aurait permis de combattre mais Il ne l'a pas fait afin qu’Il pût admettre dans Sa miséricorde qui Il veut. S’ils avaient été séparés des mécréants, Nous aurions assurément châtié, d’un châtiment douloureux, ceux d’entre eux qui refusaient de croire.

German

Sie sind es, die ungläubig waren und euch fernhielten von der Heiligen Moschee und das Opfer verhinderten, seine Opferstätte zu erreichen. Und wäre es nicht um die gläubigen Männer und die gläubigen Frauen gewesen, die ihr nicht kennt und die ihr vielleicht unwissentlich niedergetreten hättet, so dass euch ihrethalben ein Unrecht hätte zugerechnet werden können (Er hätte euch erlaubt zu kämpfen, so aber tat Er es nicht), auf dass Allah in Seine Gnade führe, wen Er will. Wären sie getrennt gewesen, Wir hätten sicherlich jene unter ihnen (den Mekkanern), die ungläubig waren, mit schmerzlicher Strafe gestraft.

Chinese

他们就是那些自己不信, 并且[a]阻止你们 (进入) 禁寺, 也阻止牺牲送到牺牲地方的人。若不是 (在麦加) 有信仰的男女, 那么, 由于你们不知道, 你们可能践踏了他们, 而且, 因为他们的缘故, 你们就这样地犯下了无心的罪行;[1270] (他本来允诺你们进行战斗)。(但是他制止了你们,) 以便他使他意欲的人进入他的仁慈之中。假若他们 (原是与不信的人) 分居的, 无疑地, 我早已以痛苦的刑罚惩罚了他们中间那些不信的人。

Italian

Sono stati loro a non credere e a tenervi lontani dalla Sacra Moschea e a impedire che le offerte arrivassero al luogo del sacrificio. E se non fosse stato per alcuni credenti, uomini e donne, che, non conoscendoli, voi aveste potuto calpestare, incorrendo così, involontariamente, in un danno contro voi stessi, Egli vi avrebbe permesso di combattere ma non lo ha fatto. Ma vi trattenne, così da ammettere alla Sua misericordia chi Gli piace. Se essi fossero stati chiaramente distinti dai non credenti, Noi, per certo, avremmo punito quelli che non credevano con un doloroso castigo.

Spanish

Son los incrédulos quienes os impidieron la entrada en la Mezquita Sagrada así como la ofrenda que no pudo alcanzar el lugar del sacrificio. Y de no haber sido por los hombres y mujeres creyentes a los que no conocíais y que hubierais podido exterminar, hasta el punto e que os hubierais perjudicado, sin saberlo, a causa de ellos, Él os hubiera permitido luchar, pero no lo hizo para poder admitir a Su Misericordia a quien quisiera. Si hubiesen estado separados de los incrédulos, en verdad habríamos castigado a los que no creían con un severo castigo.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

وہ (تمہارے دشمن) ہی تھے جنہوں نے کفر کیا اور تم کو مسجدحرام (کی زیارت) سے روکا۔ اوراسی طرح قربانیوں کو جو (مکہ کیلئے) وقف ہو چکی تھیں (اس بات سے روک دیا کہ) وہ اپنی منزل مقصود تک پہنچ سکیں۔ اور اگر (مکہ میں) کچھ مومن مرد ایسے نہ ہوتے اور کچھ مومن عورتیں ایسی نہ ہوتیں جن کو تم نہیں جانتے تھے اور یہ خطرہ نہ ہوتا کہ تم ان کو نادانستہ پاؤں کے نیچے روند جاؤ گے اور اس کے نتیجہ میں تم پر عیب لگایا جائے گا (تو ہم تم کو لڑنے دیتے مگر خدا نے روکے رکھا) تا کہ اللہ جس کو پسند کرتا ہے اس کواپنی رحمت میں داخل کرے اگر (پوشیدہ مومن) کہیں ادھرادھر ہوگئے ہوتے تو ان (مکہ کے رہنے والوں) میں سے جو کافر تھے ہم ان کو دردناک عذاب پہنچا دیتے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

It is they who disbelieved and [a]debarred you from the Sacred Mosque and also prevented the dedicated offerings from reaching their place of sacrifice. And had it not been for some believing men and believing women who were then in Mecca and whom, not having known, you might have trampled down, and thus might have, on their account, incurred an unwitting guilt,[2781] He would have permitted you to fight, but He withheld you that He might admit into His mercy whom He will. If they had been clearly separated from the disbelievers, We would have, surely, punished those of them who disbelieved with a grievous punishment.

English - Five Volume Translation

It is they who disbelieved and [a]hindered you from the Sacred Mosque and [b]the offering which was prevented from reaching its place of sacrifice. And had it not been for some believing men and believing women whom you knew not and whom you might have trampled down unwittingly, so that blame might have attached to you on their account, He would have permitted you to fight but He withheld you that He might admit into His mercy whom He will. If they had been separated from the disbelievers, We would have surely punished those of them who disbelieved with a grievous punishment.[3835]

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

وہی لوگ تو ہیں جنہوں نے کفر کیا اور تم کو مسجد حرام سے روکا اور ہدی کے اونٹوں کو اُن کی قربانی کی جگہ نہ پہنچنے دیا اگر (مکہ میں) ایسے مومن مرد و عورت موجود نہ ہوتے جنہیں تم نہیں جانتے، اور یہ خطرہ نہ ہوتا کہ نادانستگی میں تم انہیں پامال کر دو گے اور اس سے تم پر حرف آئے گا (تو جنگ نہ روکی جاتی روکی وہ اس لیے گئی) تاکہ اللہ اپنی رحمت میں جس کو چاہے داخل کر لے وہ مومن الگ ہو گئے ہوتے تو (اہل مکہ میں سے) جو کافر تھے ان کو ہم ضرور سخت سزا دیتے

English - Sahih

They are the ones who disbelieved and obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram while the offering was prevented from reaching its place of sacrifice. And if not for believing men and believing women whom you did not know - that you might trample them and there would befall you because of them dishonor without [your] knowledge - [you would have been permitted to enter Makkah]. [This was so] that Allah might admit to His mercy whom He willed. If they had been apart [from them], We would have punished those who disbelieved among them with painful punishment

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

وہ تو وہی ہیں جنہوں نے انکار کیا اور تمہیں مسجد حرام سے روکا اور قربانی کے جانوروں کو روکے رکھا اس سے کہ وہ اپنی قربان گاہ تک پہنچیں اور اگر کچھ مرد ایمان والے اور عورتیں ایمان والی نہ ہوتیں جنہیں تم نہیں جانتے تھے کہ تم انہیں پامال کر دیتے پھر ان کی طرف سے تم پر نادانستگی سے الزام آتا (تو تمہیں لڑنے سے نہ روکا جاتا) تاکہ الله اپنی رحمت میں جسے چاہے داخل کرے اگر وہ ٹل گئے ہوتے تو ہم ان میں سے جو کافر ہیں انہیں دردناک عذاب دیتے

English - Talal Itani

They (are) those who disbelieved and hindered you from Al-Masjid Al-Haraam while the offering (was) prevented from reaching its place (of sacrifice). And if not (for) men believing and women believing not you knew them that you may trample them and would befall you from them any harm without knowledge. That Allah may admit to His Mercy whom He wills. If they had been apart surely, We would have punished those who disbelieved among them (with) a punishment painful.

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

They are the ones who disbelieved, and barred you from the Holy Mosque and the offering, detained so as not to reach its place of sacrifice. If it had not been for certain men believers and certain women believers whom you knew not, lest you should trample them, and there befall you guilt unwittingly on their account (that God may admit into His mercy whom He will), had they been separated clearly, then We would have chastised the unbelievers among them with a painful chastisement.

English - Maududi

They are the ones who disbelieved and barred you from the Inviolable Mosque and prevented the animals you had designated for sacrifice from reaching the place of their offering. If it had not been for the believing men and believing women (who lived in Makkah and) whom you did not know, and had there not been the fear that you might trample on them and unwittingly incur blame on their account, (then fighting would not have been put to a stop. It was stopped so that) Allah may admit to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. Had those believers been separated from the rest, We would certainly have inflicted a grievous chastise-ment on those of them [i.e. the Makkans) who disbelieved.

English - Ahmed Ali

It were those who disbelieved who hindered you from (going to) the Holy Mosque, preventing your offerings from arriving at the place of sacrifice. Had it not been for (the presence of) believers, men and women, (among the unbelievers) of whom you were unaware, and whom you might have trampled and thus incurred guilt unknowingly on account of them, (the matter would have been settled). (But this was not done) so that God may admit into His favour whom He willed. If these (believers) had been separated from them, He would have inflicted a grievous punishment on the unbelievers.

English - Yusuf Ali

They are the ones who denied Revelation and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque and the sacrificial animals, detained from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not been believing men and believing women whom ye did not know that ye were trampling down and on whose account a crime would have accrued to you without (your) knowledge, (Allah would have allowed you to force your way, but He held back your hands) that He may admit to His Mercy whom He will. If they had been apart, We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment.

Important Words:

معرة (blame) is derived from عر (‘arra). They say عرت الابل i.e. the camels were or became mangy or scabby. عرہ means, he did to him an abominable thing; he did to him what he disliked; he disgraced him. عرہ بشر means, he aspersed him or charged or upbraided him with evil, or he wronged him. معرة means, a cause of reviling or being reviled; a crime or sin that is noxious like mange or scab; a foul or abominable thing; a cause of grief or vexation; disgrace; annoyance, hurt, harm or injury (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

The verse means that though the Meccans gloated over the terms of the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah which, in their ignorance, they thought were very advantageous to them and humiliating for Muslims, and though the latter feeling that the terms were being forcibly wrung from them were crestfallen and did not know that in reality the terms had laid the foundations of a very prosperous and bright future for Islam, yet God had His own design in not permitting the fight to take place. There was a nucleus of Muslims in Mecca and if the fight had taken place, the Muslim army would have unknowingly killed their own brethren in faith, thereby causing great injury to their own cause, and earning obloquy and opprobrium for themselves. In fact, from whatever angle the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah may be viewed it was indeed a great victory.

English - Pickthall

These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

It is they who disbelieved and debarred you from the Sacred Mosque -- and the offering withheld from reaching its goal. And were it not for the believing men and the believing women, whom, not having known, you might have trodden down, and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without knowledge -- so that Allah may admit to his mercy whom He pleases. Had they been apart, We would surely have chastised those who disbelieved from among them with a painful chastisement.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

It is these who disbelieved and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque, and prevented the animals which had been designated for sacrifice from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had it not been for believing men and women of whom you had no knowledge, who were then in Mecca, and whom you might have trampled down unknowingly and thus incurred blame on their account, Allah would have let you fight your way into Mecca; but He held you back that He might admit into His mercy whom He will. Had these believing men and women drawn apart from the rest, We would surely have chastised the disbelievers with a grievous chastisement.
