Surah 2. Al-Baqara, Ayah 105
| مَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ |
| Transliteration | : | maa yawadd 'alladhena kafaro min 'ahl al- kitaab wa- laa al- mushriken 'an yunzil calay -kum min khayr min rabb -kum wa- 'allaah yakhtas.s. bi- rah.mah -hi man yashaa' wa- 'allaah dho al- fad.l al- caz.em |
| Pickthall | : | Neither those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture nor the idolaters love that there should be sent down unto you any good thing from your Lord. But Allah chooseth for His mercy whom He will, and Allah is of infinite bounty. |
| Asad | : | Neither those from among the followers of earlier revelation who are bent on denying the truth, nor those who ascribe divinity to other beings beside God, would like to see any good86 ever bestowed upon you from on high by your Sustainer; but God singles out for His grace whom He wills - for God is limitless in His great bounty. |
| Malik | : | The unbelievers among the People of the Book, and the Mushrikin, would never wish that any good be sent down to you, O Muhammad, from your Rabb, but Allah chooses for His special Mercy whom He pleases, and Allah is the most Graceful. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | It is never the wish of those without faith among the people of the Book nor of the Pagans that anything good should come down to you from your Lord. But Allah will choose for His special Mercy whom He will for Allah is Lord of grace abounding. |
Note - 86I.e., revelation - which is the highest good. The
allusion here is to the unwillingness of the Jews and the
Christians to admit that revelation could have been
bestowed on any community but their own.
