Surah 9. At-Tauba, Ayah 112
| التَّائِبُونَ الْعَابِدُونَ الْحَامِدُونَ السَّائِحُونَ الرَّاكِعُونَ السَّاجِدُونَ الْآمِرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّاهُونَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَالْحَافِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | at- taa'ibon al- caabidon al- h.aamidon as- saa'ih.on ar- raakicon as- saajidon al- 'aamiron bi- al- macrof wa- an- naahon can al- munkar wa- al- h.aafiz.on li- h.udod 'allaah wa- bashshir al- mu'minen |
| Pickthall | : | (Triumphant) are those who turn repentant (to Allah), those who serve (Him), those who praise (Him), those who fast, these who bow down, those who fall prostrate (in worship), those who enjoin the right and who forbid the wrong and those who keep the limits (ordained) of Allah And give glad tidings to believers!. |
| Asad | : | [It is a triumph of] those who turn [unto God] in repentance [whenever they have sinned], and who worship and praise [Him], and go on and on [seeking His goodly acceptance],147 and bow down [before Him] and prostrate themselves in adoration, and enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and keep to the bounds set by God. And give thou [O Prophet] the glad tiding [of God's promise] to all believers. |
| Malik | : | Those that turn to Allah in repentance, serve Him, praise Him, move about in the land for His sake, make Rakuh (bow down in prayer) and Sajud (prostrate themselves in prayer), enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and observe the limits (permissions and prohibitions) set by Allah (they are the ones who make such a bargain with Allah). O Prophet, proclaim the good news to such believers. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance: that serve Him and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the Cause of Allah; that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limits set by Allah; (these do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers. 1363 |
Note - 147Most of the commentators attribute to the expression
as-sa'ihun (lit., "those who wander") the meaning of
as-sa'imun, i.e., "those who fast", since he who fasts
deprives himself, temporarily, of worldly enjoyments
similar to one who wanders about the earth (Sufyan ibn
'Uyaynah, as quoted by Razi); and they justify this
metaphorical equation of siyahah ("wandering") with siyam
("fasting") by the fact that several Companions and some
of their successors have thus interpreted the term
as-sa'ihun in the above context (see Tabari). Other
authorities, however, (e.g., Abu Muslim, as quoted by
Razi) prefer the original significance of this term and
explain it as more or less synonymous with al-muhajirun
("those who forsake the domain of evil"). To my mind, the
expression as-sa'ihun is best rendered as "those who go
on and on [seeking God's goodly acceptance]", thus
combining the literal and metonymical connotations of the
term siyahah.

Note - 1363We are to rejoice that by giving up such small things as
ourselves and our possessions we are to be rewarded with
such a great thing as the eternal life of felicity. The
truly righteous, whose lives in various aspects are
described in this verse, do so rejoice. The good news is
to be proclaimed to all Believers, including the weakest
among us, so that they may profit by that example.
