Surah Al-Hashr · Ayah 9

Wallazeena tabawwa'ud daara wal eemaana min qablihim yuhibboona man haajara ilaihim wa laa yajidoona fee sudoorihim haajatam mimmaa ootoo wa yu'siroona 'alaa anfusihim wa law kaana bihim khasaasah; wa many yooqa shuhha nafsihee fa ulaaa'ika humul muflihoon

“Those who entered the city and the faith before them love those who flee unto them for refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which hath been given them, but prefer (the fugitives) above themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is saved from his own avarice - such are they who are successful.”

“But those who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith,- show their affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from the covetousness of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.”

“And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.”

“যারা মুহাজিরদের আগমনের পূর্বে মদীনায় বসবাস করেছিল এবং বিশ্বাস স্থাপন করেছিল, তারা মুহাজিরদের ভালবাসে, মুহাজিরদেরকে যা দেয়া হয়েছে, তজ্জন্যে তারা অন্তরে ঈর্ষাপোষণ করে না এবং নিজেরা অভাবগ্রস্ত হলেও তাদেরকে অগ্রাধিকার দান করে। যারা মনের কার্পণ্য থেকে মুক্ত, তারাই সফলকাম।”

“اور (ان لوگوں کے لئے بھی) جو مہاجرین سے پہلے (ہجرت کے) گھر (یعنی مدینے) میں مقیم اور ایمان میں (مستقل) رہے (اور) جو لوگ ہجرت کرکے ان کے پاس آتے ہیں ان سے محبت کرتے ہیں اور جو کچھ ان کو ملا اس سے اپنے دل میں کچھ خواہش (اور خلش) نہیں پاتے اور ان کو اپنی جانوں سے مقدم رکھتے ہیں خواہ ان کو خود احتیاج ہی ہو۔ اور جو شخص حرص نفس سے بچا لیا گیا تو ایسے لوگ مراد پانے والے ہیں”
