9. Surah At Tawbah
The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ...
9: 50. If good befalls thee, it grieves them;
...وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْ قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ...
but if a misfortune befalls thee, they say,
"We took indeed our precautions beforehand,"
...وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
and they turn away rejoicing.
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلاَنَا...
9: 51. Say:
"Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us:
He is our Protector":
...وَعَلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٥١﴾
and on Allah let the believers put their trust.
