Translation

How many of the prophets fought (in Allah's way), and with them (fought) Large bands of godly men? but they never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah's way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give in. And Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast.

Nice peygamberler vardı ki, kendileriyle beraber birçok Allah dostları çarpıştılar; Allah yolunda başlarına gelenlerden yılgınlık göstermediler, zaafa düşmediler, boyun eğmediler. Allah sabredenleri sever.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır · TR · public-domain

Nice peygamberler vardı ki beraber(ler)inde kendilerini Rablerine adayanlar bulunduğu hâlde savaşmışlardı. Bunlar, Allah yolunda başlarına gelenlerden dolayı gevşeklik göstermemiş, zayıf (aciz) davranmamış ve (düşmanlarına karşı) boyun da eğmemişlerdi. Allah (işte böyle) sabredenleri sever.

Mehmet Okuyan · TR · all-rights-reserved

And with how many a prophet have there been a number of devoted men who fought (beside him). They quailed not for aught that befell them in the way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor were they brought low. Allah loveth the steadfast.
