4. Sura an-Nisa
Medina 92 [Hijra 4]
The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
وَمَن
يُهَاجِرْ فِي
سَبِيلِ اللّهِ
يَجِدْ فِي
الأَرْضِ مُرَاغَمًا
كَثِيرًا وَسَعَةً...
4: 100. He who forsakes his home in the Cause of Allah, finds in the earth many a refuge, wide and spacious:
... وَمَن يَخْرُجْ مِن بَيْتِهِ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلى اللّهِ...
should he die as a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger, his reward becomes due and sure with Allah:
... وَكَانَ اللّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿١٠٠﴾
and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
4: 100
Asad And he who forsake the domain of evil for the sake of God shall find on earth many a lonely road [note 126], as well as life abundant. And if anyone leaves his home, fleeting evil unto God and His Apostle, and then death overtakes him – his reward is ready with God: for God is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.
Pickthall Whoso migrate for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsake his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
