4:66 If We were to command them, “Kill yourselves”, or “Leave your homes”, they would not do it except for a few of them. But if they did what they were instructed, it would surely be better for them and more reassuring[1],

4:67 and then We would certainly give them from Us a great reward,

4:68 and would surely guide them to a straight path.

4:69 Those who obey Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom Allah has blessed: the prophets, the people of Truth, the martyrs, and the righteous[1]. What excellent companions they are!

4:70 That grace is from Allah, and sufficient is Allah as Knower.

4:71 O you who believe, take your precautions, then march out in groups or march out all together.

4:72 There are some[1] among you who lag behind [from the battle]; then if a calamity befalls you, he will say, “Allah has blessed me that I was not present with them.”

4:73 But if some bounty comes to you from Allah[1], he will surely say – as if there had never been any affection between you and him – “Oh, I wish I had been with them, so I could have made a great gain.”

4:74 Let those who sacrifice the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the way of Allah; for whoever fights in the way of Allah, whether he is killed or attains victory, We will give him a great reward.
