Lit., "left [alone]", i.e., without being tried by means of suffering and hardship.
Lit., "while God has not yet taken cognizance of those of you who have striven hard". For an explanation of God's "taking cognizance", see 3:142 and the corresponding note.
Lit., "without having taken any intimate helper (walijah) other than God and His Apostle and the believers".
We must all be tested and tried, but Allah knows our inmost hearts, and He will support those who strive in His way, out of sincere love for Him, His Prophet, and the body of the true men of faith.
