therefore when ye meet the unbelievers smite at their necks at length when ye have thoroughly subdued them bind a bond firmly thereafter either generosity or ransom until the war lays down its burdens. thus but if it had been allahs will he could certainly have exacted retribution from them but in order to test you some with others. but those who are slain in the way of allah he will never let their deeds be lost.
فإذا لقيتم الذين كفروا فضرب الرقاب حتى إذا أثخنتموهم فشدوا الوثاق فإما منا بعد وإما فداء حتى تضع الحرب أوزارها ذلك ولو يشاء الله لانتصر منهم ولكن ليبلو بعضكم ببعض والذين قتلوا في سبيل الله فلن يضل أعمالهم
