so when you meet those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them then bind a bond firmly . thereafter either for generosity or ransom until the war lays down its burden. thus but if it had been allahs will he himself could certainly have punished them . but in order to test you some with others. but those who are killed in the way of allah he will never let their deeds be lost he will guide them and set right their state.
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 سيهديهم ويصلح بالهم
