Ash-Shuraa 42:40 وجزاء سيية سيية مثلها فمن عفا واصلح فاجره على الله انه لا يحب الظالمين ٤٠

Page 487 · Juz 25

وَجَزَٰٓؤُاْ
سَيِّئَةٖ
سَيِّئَةٞ
مِّثۡلُهَاۖ
فَمَنۡ
عَفَا
وَأَصۡلَحَ
فَأَجۡرُهُۥ
عَلَى
ٱللَّهِۚ
إِنَّهُۥ
لَا
يُحِبُّ
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
٤٠
The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers.

— M. Pickthall

And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allāh. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.

— Saheeh International

The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.

— A. Yusuf Ali

Read in Context

30. Whatever of misfortune striketh you, it is what your right hands have earned. And He forgiveth much. 31. Ye cannot escape in the earth, for beside Allah ye have no protecting friend nor any helper. 32. And of His portents are the ships, like banners on the sea; 33. If He will He calmeth the wind so that they keep still upon its surface - Lo! herein verily are signs for every steadfast grateful (heart). - 34. Or He causeth them to perish on account of that which they have earned - And He forgiveth much - 35. And that those who argue concerning Our revelations may know they have no refuge. 36. Now whatever ye have been given is but a passing comfort for the life of the world, and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord, 37. And those who shun the worst of sins and indecencies and, when they are wroth, forgive, 38. And those who answer the call of their Lord and establish worship, and whose affairs are a matter of counsel, and who spend of what We have bestowed on them, 39. And those who, when great wrong is done to them, defend themselves, 40. The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers. 41. And whoso defendeth himself after he hath suffered wrong - for such, there is no way (of blame) against them. 42. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind, and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom. 43. And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth - lo! that, verily, is (of) the steadfast heart of things.

- M. Pickthall
