Surah 48. Al-Fat-h, Ayah 17
| لَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَعْمَىٰ حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلَى الْأَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلَى الْمَرِيضِ حَرَجٌ ۗ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ يُعَذِّبْهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا |

| Pickthall | : | There is no blame for the blind, nor is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom. |
| Asad | : | No blame attaches to the blind, nor does blame attach to the lame, nor does blame attach to the sick [for staying away from a war in God's cause];19 but whoever heeds [the call of] God and His Apostle [in deed or in heart20], him will He admit into gardens through which running waters flow; whereas him who turns away will He chastise with grievous chastisement. |
| Malik | : | There is no blame on the blind, the lame, and the sick if they stay behind. He that obeys Allah and His Rasool shall be admitted to gardens beneath which the rivers flow, and he that turns away shall be punished with a painful punishment. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | No blame is there on the blind nor is there blame on the lame nor on one ill (if he joins not the war): but he that obeys Allah and His Apostle (Allah) will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and he who turns back (Allah) will punish him with a grievous Penalty. 4890 |

are unable to participate in the fighting physically,
but are in their hearts with those who fight.

the call to Jihad with perfect discipline will get the
Rewards of the Hereafter. The blind, the maimed, and the
infirm will of course be exempted from active compliance
with the Call, but they can render such services as are
within their power, and then they will not he excluded
from the reward.
