Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 162
| لَٰكِنِ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ۚ وَالْمُقِيمِينَ الصَّلَاةَ ۚ وَالْمُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أُولَٰئِكَ سَنُؤْتِيهِمْ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا |

| Pickthall | : | But those of them who are firm in knowledge and the believers believe in that which is revealed unto thee, and that which was revealed before thee, especially the diligent in prayer and those who pay the poor due, the believers in Allah and the Last Day. Upon these We shall bestow immense reward. |
| Asad | : | But as for those from among them who are deeply rooted in knowledge,176 and the believers who believe in that which has been bestowed upon thee from on high as well as that which was bestowed from on high before thee, and those who are [especially] constant in prayer,177 and spend in charity, and all who believe in God and the Last Day - these it is unto whom We shall grant a mighty reward. |
| Malik | : | However, those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge and those who truly believe in what has been revealed to you, O Muhammad, and other Prophets before you, establishes Salah, pays Zakah, and believes in Allah and the Last Day, will soon be given a mighty reward. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge and the believers believe in what hath been revealed to thee; and (especially) those who establish regular prayer and practice regular charity and believe in Allah and in the Last Day: to them shall We soon give a great reward. |
Note - 176I.e., those from among the Jews who do not content
themselves with a mere observance of rituals, but try to
penetrate to the deepest meaning of faith.

Note - 177According to the grammarians of the Basrah school, and
especially Sibawayh, the use of the accusative (mansub)
case in the expression al-muqimin as-salah ( those who
are constant in prayer") - instead of the nominative
al-muqimun - is a legitimate grammatical device meant to
stress the special, praiseworthy quality attaching to
prayer and to those who are devoted to it (see
Zamakhshari and Razi); hence my interpolation of
"especially" between brackets.
