مَا کَانَ لِنَبِىٍّ أَن یَکُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى یُثْخِنَ فِى الاَْرْضِ تُرِیدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْیَا وَاللهُ یُرِیدُ الاَْخِرَةَ وَاللهُ عَزِیزٌ حَکِیمٌ (67)

67- IT IS NOT FOR A PROHPET TO TAKE CAPTIVES, UNTIL HE HAS FOUGHT AND TRIUMPHED (SETTLED) IN THE LAND. YOU LOOK FOR THE TEMPORAL GOODS OF THIS WORLD, WHILE ALLAH INTENDS THE WORLD TO COME; AND ALLAH IS ALL- MIGHTY, ALL- WISE.

لَّوْلاَ کِتَـبٌ مِّنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّکُمْ فِیمَآ أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمٌ (68)

68- HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A PREVIOUS SANCTION FROM ALLAH, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN AFFLICTED WITH A GREAT PUNISHMENT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN. (OF CAPTIVES)

فَکُلُوا ممّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَـلا طَیِّباً وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ إِنَّ اللهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِیمٌ (69)

69- BUT NOW EAT OF WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN AS BOOTY, LAWFUL AND CLEAN; AND BEWARE OF ALLAH, (AND KNOW) THAT ALLAH IS FORGIVING, COMPASSIONATE.

یَـأَیُّهَا النَّبِىُّ قُل لِّمَن فِى أَیْدِیکُمْ مِّنَ الاَْسْرَى إِن یَعْلَمِ اللهُ فِى قُلُوبِکُمْ خَیْراً یُؤْتِکُمْ خَیْراً مِّمَّآ أُخِذَ مِنکُمْ وَیَغْفِرْ لَکُمْ وَاللهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِیمٌ (70)

70- O, PROPHET! SAY TO THOSE WHO ARE CAPTIVES IN YOUR HANDS: `IF ALLAH FINDS ANY GOOD IN YOUR HEARTS, HE WILL GIVE YOU BETTER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU; AND WILL FORGIVE YOU, FOR ALLAH IS OFTEN- FORGIVING COMPASSIONATE.'

وَإِن یُرِیدُوا خِیَانَتَکَ فَقَدْ خَانُوا اللهَ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَمْکَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَاللهُ عَلِیمٌ حَکِیمٌ (71)

71- BUT IF THEY SEEK TO BETRAY YOU, THEY HAVE ALREADY BETRAYED ALLAH; AND HE HAS GIVEN YOU POWER OVER THEM, AND ALLAH IS ALL- KNOWING, ALL- WISE.
