3. Sura al-Imran

Medina 89 [200 verses]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

إِن تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَفْرَحُواْ بِهَا...

3: 120. If aught that is good befalls you, it grieves them; but if some misfortune overtakes you, they rejoice at it.

...وَإِن تَصْبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ لاَ يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًا...

But if ye are constant and do right, not the least harm will their cunning do to you,

...إِنَّ اللّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ ﴿١٢٠﴾

for Allah compasseth round about all that they do.

3: 120

Asad If good fortune comes to you, it grieves them; and if evil befalls you, they rejoice in it. But if you are patient in adversity and conscious of God, their guile cannot harm you at all: for, verily, God encompasses [with His might] all that they do.

Pickthall If a lucky chance befall you, it is evil unto them, and if disaster strike you they rejoice thereat. But if ye persevere and keep from evil their guile will never harm you. Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they do.
