Of mankind is he who saith: We believe in Allah, but, if he be made to suffer for the sake of Allah, he mistaketh the persecution of mankind for Allah's punishment; and then, if victory cometh from thy Lord, will say: Lo! we were with you (all the while).

And of humanity is he who says: We believed in God. But, when he was maligned for the sake of God, he mistook the persecution by humanity for a punishment by God.

There are some people who say: "We believe in God"; yet whenever they suffer abuse for God´s sake, they maintain that any trials by mankind are like God´s torment.

There are some people who say, ´We have iman in Allah,´ and then, when they suffer harm in Allah´s cause, they take people´s persecution for Allah´s punishment; but if help comes from your Lord they say, ´We were with you.´ Does Allah not know best what is in every person´s heart?
Among the people are such as say, "We believe in God," but when (such a person) is subjected to persecution (for his confession of faith) in God, he construes persecution at the hands of people as God’s punishment (and rejects his faith); but if a victory comes from your Lord (to the believers), (such people) will most certainly say, "Surely we have always been with you." Or (do they think that) God is not fully aware of what is in the bosoms of all creatures (that He created)
Among the people there are those who say, ‘We have faith in Allah,’ but if such a one is tormented in Allah’s cause, he takes persecution by the people for Allah’s punishment.

And does not Allah know best whatever is in the breasts of the worlds
Some people say, "We have faith in God." But when they face some hardship for His cause, they begin to consider the persecution that they have experienced from people as a torment from God.

Dr. Munir Munshey
And among the people are those who say, ´we believe in Allah!´, but when they are bothered because of their belief in Allah they consider the suffering caused by the people to be equal to the punishment inflicted by Allah.

Dr. Kamal Omar
And of mankind (is that) who says: “We have Believed in Allah,” then when he was made to suffer ‘in (the Cause of) Allah’, he regarded the test and trial at the hands of humans like a punishment from Allah.

Ali Bakhtiari Nejad
And some of the people say we believed in God, but when he is harassed because of God, he considers people’s harassment as God’s punishment, and if help (and victory) comes from your Master they shall say: indeed we were with you. Does not God know better what is in the minds of humankind

There are some people who say: “We have believed in God”. However, when they face the difficulties in establishing the Lord’s kingdom on earth, they consider their persecution as the “punishment of God!” When the victory comes [after the hardship], they say: “We were with you!” Do they not know that God is fully aware of what is in the hearts of the people
Faridul Haque
And some people say, “We believe in Allah” – so if they are afflicted with some adversity in Allah’s way, they consider the chaos created by men as the punishment from Allah; and if the help comes from your Lord, they will surely say, “Indeed we were with you”; does not Allah well know what is in the hearts of the entire creation

Muhammad Ahmed - Samira
And from the people who says: "We believed by God." So if he was harmed mildly in God, he made/put the people's test/torture as/like God's torture, and if victory/aid came from your Lord, they will say (E): "That we were with you." Or is not God with more knowledgeable with what (is in) the creation's all together's/(universes) chests (innermosts)
And of men there are some who say, `We believe in ALLAH;' but when they are made to suffer in the cause of ALLAH, they regard the persecution of men as if it were the punishment of ALLAH.

Among the people there are those who say, "We believe in GOD," but as soon as they suffer any hardship because of GOD, they equate the people's persecution with GOD's retribution.

And there are some persons who say, 'we have believed in Allah, then when they are meted with any affliction in the way of Allah, they regard the persecution of the people as equal to the torment of Allah. And if help comes from your Lord, then they shall surely say, 'We were with you'. Does Allah not know well what is in the hearts of the people of entire world?
There are some (hypocrites) among the people who say, `We believe in Allah.' But when they are made to suffer in the cause of Allah they regard the persecution by people as it were the punishment from Allah.

And there are (also) those amongst the people who say: ‘We believe in Allah,’ but when they are put to (some) trouble in the way of Allah, they consider the trial of the people like punishment from Allah. And if some help comes from your Lord, then indeed they start saying: ‘We were with you.’ Is Allah not best aware of those (things) which are (hidden) in the breasts of all the people of the world
Of mankind are some who say: "We believe in Allah," but if they are made to suffer for the sake of Allah, they consider the trial of mankind as Allahs punishment, and if victory comes from your Lord, (the hypocrites) will say: "Verily!

Some men there are who say, 'We believe in God,' but when such a man is hurt in God's cause, he makes the persecution of men as it were God's chastisement; then if help comes from thy Lord, he will say 'We were with you.' What, does not God know very well what is in the breasts of all beings

New and/or Partial Translations, and works in progress
Among people are some who say, “We believe in Allah.” When they are persecuted for Allah, however, they treat people’s persecution as if it were the wrath of Allah. If help comes from your Lord, they are sure to say, “We have always been with you.” Doesn’t Allah know best all that is in the hearts of the worlds?
Among people, there are those who say: 'We believe in God,' yet when any of them is made to suffer in God's cause, he thinks that oppression by man is as grievous as God's punishment. However, should help from your Lord be forthcoming, he is sure to say: 'We have always been with you!' Is not God fully aware of what is in the hearts of all creatures?
And there are some among the people who say, “We believe in Allah, our essence with His Names,” but when they encounter hardship in the way of Allah they mistake the provocation of man for the punishment of Allah. And if victory comes to them from their Rabb, they say, “We were really with You.” Does Allah (as the creator with His Names) not know better what is in the breasts (the brains of people)?
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
And among the people there are those who say: �We believe in Allah,� and when they are hurt in Allah�s cause, they think the persecution of men as it were Allah�s chastisement, and if help comes from your Lord, they would certainly say: �Verily we were with you�. What! Is not Allah the Best-Knower of what is in the breasts of mankind
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
Among people there is he who declares his belief in Allah. Yet when he is harmed in His cause he at once nurses despair and equalizes suffering here in magnitude and degree with the retributive punishment inflicted by Allah Hereafter. And should you Muslims be fortunate to be crowned with victory from Allah he proclaims he was in your array and a part of your troops. Does Allah not know what peoples' bosoms store of thoughts and feeling
And among mankind is he who says, “We believe in Allah,” but when he is harmed in (the cause of ) Allah, he regards the persecution of mankind like the punishment of Allah. And when victory comes from your Fosterer, they definitely say, “We were certainly with you.” Is not Allah the Best Knower of that which is there in the bosoms of (those in) the worlds.
