[4:66]
And if We had decreed for them: Lay down your
lives or go forth from your dwellings, but few of them would have done it;
though if they did what they are exhorted to do it would be better for them,
and more strengthening;
[4:67]
And then We should bestow
upon them from Our presence an immense reward,
[4:68]
And should guide them unto
a straight path.
[4:69]
Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger, they are
with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the prophets and the saints
and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!
[4:70]
That is bounty from Allah, and Allah sufficeth
as Knower.
[4:71]
O ye who believe! Take your precautions, then
advance the proven ones, or advance all together. .
[4:72]
Lo! among you there is
he who loitereth; and if disaster overtook you, he would say: Allah hath been
gracious unto me since I was not present with them.
[4:73]
And if a bounty from Allah befell you, he would
surely cry, as if there had been no love between you and him: Oh, would that I
had been with them, then should I have achieved a great success!
[4:74]
Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the
life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he
slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a
vast reward.
