أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah يَعْلَمُ knows مَا whatever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَمَا and whatever فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ the earth مَا Not يَكُونُ there is مِن any نَّجْوَىٰ secret counsel ثَلَـٰثَةٍ (of) three إِلَّا but هُوَ He (is) رَابِعُهُمْ (the) fourth of them وَلَا and not خَمْسَةٍ five إِلَّا but هُوَ He (is) سَادِسُهُمْ (the) sixth of them وَلَآ and not أَدْنَىٰ less مِن than ذَٰلِكَ that وَلَآ and not أَكْثَرَ more إِلَّا but هُوَ He مَعَهُمْ (is) with them أَيْنَ wherever مَا wherever كَانُوا۟ ۖ they are ثُمَّ Then يُنَبِّئُهُم He will inform them بِمَا of what عَمِلُوا۟ they did يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ (of) the Resurrection إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah بِكُلِّ of every شَىْءٍ thing عَلِيمٌ (is) All-Knower ٧

Have you not considered that Allāh knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There are not three in a private conversation but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allāh is, of all things, Knowing.

أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see إِلَى [to] ٱلَّذِينَ those who نُهُوا۟ were forbidden عَنِ from ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ secret counsels ثُمَّ then يَعُودُونَ they return لِمَا to what نُهُوا۟ they were forbidden عَنْهُ from [it] وَيَتَنَـٰجَوْنَ and they hold secret counsels بِٱلْإِثْمِ for sin وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ and aggression وَمَعْصِيَتِ and disobedience ٱلرَّسُولِ (to) the Messenger وَإِذَا And when جَآءُوكَ they come to you حَيَّوْكَ they greet you بِمَا with what لَمْ not يُحَيِّكَ greets you بِهِ therewith ٱللَّهُ Allah وَيَقُولُونَ and they say فِىٓ among أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves لَوْلَا Why (does) not يُعَذِّبُنَا Allah punish us ٱللَّهُ Allah punish us بِمَا for what نَقُولُ ۚ we say حَسْبُهُمْ Sufficient (for) them جَهَنَّمُ (is) Hell يَصْلَوْنَهَا ۖ they will burn in it فَبِئْسَ and worst is ٱلْمَصِيرُ the destination ٨

Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation [i.e., ridicule and conspiracy] and then return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allāh does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allāh not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوٓا۟ O you who believe إِذَا When تَنَـٰجَيْتُمْ you hold secret counsel فَلَا then (do) not تَتَنَـٰجَوْا۟ hold secret counsel بِٱلْإِثْمِ for sin وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ and aggression وَمَعْصِيَتِ and disobedience ٱلرَّسُولِ (to) the Messenger وَتَنَـٰجَوْا۟ but hold secret counsel بِٱلْبِرِّ for righteousness وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ and piety وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱلَّذِىٓ the One Who إِلَيْهِ to Him تُحْشَرُونَ you will be gathered ٩

O you who have believed, when you converse privately, do not converse about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger but converse about righteousness and piety. And fear Allāh, to whom you will be gathered.

إِنَّمَا Only ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ the secret counsels مِنَ (are) from ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ the Shaitaan لِيَحْزُنَ that he may grieve ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe وَلَيْسَ but not بِضَآرِّهِمْ he (can) harm them شَيْـًٔا (in) anything إِلَّا except بِإِذْنِ by Allah's permission ٱللَّهِ ۚ by Allah's permission وَعَلَى And upon ٱللَّهِ Allah فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ let put (their) trust ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ the believers ١٠

Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of Allāh. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوٓا۟ O you who believe إِذَا When قِيلَ it is said لَكُمْ to you تَفَسَّحُوا۟ Make room فِى in ٱلْمَجَـٰلِسِ the assemblies فَٱفْسَحُوا۟ then make room يَفْسَحِ Allah will make room ٱللَّهُ Allah will make room لَكُمْ ۖ for you وَإِذَا And when قِيلَ it is said ٱنشُزُوا۟ Rise up فَٱنشُزُوا۟ then rise up يَرْفَعِ Allah will raise ٱللَّهُ Allah will raise ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe مِنكُمْ among you وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْعِلْمَ the knowledge دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ ۚ (in) degrees وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do خَبِيرٌۭ (is) All-Aware ١١

O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then make space; Allāh will make space for you. And when you are told, "Arise," then arise; Allāh will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allāh is Aware of what you do.
