Quran 4:78
أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا۟ يُدْرِككُّمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِى بُرُوجٍ مُّشَيَّدَةٍ ۗ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ يَقُولُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَقُولُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦ مِنْ عِندِكَ ۚ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَمَالِ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلْقَوْمِ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ حَدِيثًا
| EnglishTalal Itani | Wherever you may be, death will catch up with you, even if you were in fortified towers. When a good fortune comes their way, they say, “This is from Allah.” But when a misfortune befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, “All is from Allah.” So what is the matter with these people, that they hardly understand a thing? |

| EnglishPickthall, 1930 | Wheresoever ye may be, death will overtake you, even though ye were in lofty towers. Yet if a happy thing befalleth them they say: This is from Allah; and if an evil thing befalleth them they say: This is of thy doing (O Muhammad). Say (unto them): All is from Allah. What is amiss with these people that they come not nigh to understand a happening? |
| TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935 | Her nerede olsanız ölüm size yetişir eflâke ser çekmiş burclarda da olsanız; bununla beraber kendilerine bir güzellik erdimi "bu Allah’dan" diyorlar, bir musibet de değdimi "bu senden" diyorlar, de ki: hepsi Allah tarafından, fakat neye bu adamlar söz anlamağa yanaşmıyorlar. |
| FrenchKazimirski, 1840 | En quelque lieu que vous soyez, la mort vous atteindra ; elle vous atteindrait dans des tours élevées. S’il leur arrive quelque bonheur, ils disent : Cela vient de Dieu. Essuient-ils quelque disgrâce, ils s’écrient : Cela vient de toi, ô Mohammed ! Dis-leur : Tout vient de Dieu. Qu’a-t-il donc, ce peuple, qu’il est si loin de comprendre ? |
| DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French | Waar gij ook mocht wezen zal de dood u bereiken; al waart ge in hooge torens. Indien God hen begunstigt, zeggen zij: Dit is van God, maar indien hun kwaad overkomt, zeggen zij: Dit is van u, o Mahomet! Zeg hun: Alles komt van God; en wat ontbreekt dit volk, dat zij zoo ver verwijderd zijn van hetgeen hun werd gezegd? |
| ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French | La morte vi colpirà in qualunque luogo siate; essa vi colpirebbe anche nelle torri più alte. Gl’infedeli quando ricevono qualche fortuna, dicono: Ciò viene da Dio: quando ricevono qualche disgrazia, gridano: Ciò viene da te o Maometto! Di’ loro: Tutto viene da Dio. Che ha mai questo popolo che non vuol comprendere? |
