إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ثَانِىَ ٱثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِى ٱلْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱلسُّفْلَىٰ ۗ وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللَّهِ هِىَ ٱلْعُلْيَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

Translations of Quran 9:40
EnglishTalal Itani

If you do not help him, Allah has already helped him, when those who disbelieved expelled him, and he was the second of two in the cave. He said to his friend, “Do not worry, Allah is with us.” And Allah made His tranquility descend upon him, and supported him with forces you did not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the Word of Allah is the Highest. Allah is Mighty and Wise.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the nethermost, while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Eğer siz ona yardım etmezseniz biliyorsunuzâ Allah ona yardım etti: o küfr edenler onu çıkardığı sıra ikinin biri iken, ikisi Gardeler iken, ki o lâhzada arkadaşına «mahzun olma çünkü Allah bizimle beraber diyordu, derken Allah onun üzerine sekinetini indirdi. Onu da görmediğiniz ordularla te'yid buyurdu da öyle yaptı ki o küfredenlerin kelimesini en alçak etti, Allahın kelimesi ise en yüksek o, öyle ya Allah bir azîz hakîmdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Si vous ne secourez pas votre prophète, Dieu le secourra, comme il l’a déjà secouru lorsque les infidèles l’ont chassé quand il n’avait qu’un seul homme avec lui. Ils étaient tous deux dans une caverne ; il dit alors à son compagnon : Ne t’afflige point, car Dieu est avec nous. Il a fait descendre d’en haut sa protection, il l’a soutenue par des armées invisibles, et il a abaissé la parole des infidèles. La parole de Dieu est bien la plus élevée. Dieu est le Puissant, le Sage.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Indien gij den profeet niet bijstaat, waarlijk, dan zal God hem bijstaan, zoo als hij dat vroeger deed, toen de ongeloovigen hem uit Mekka verdreven, den tweede van de twee, toen zij beiden in het hol waren. Toen zeide hij tot zijne gezellen: Weest niet bedroefd; want God is met ons. En God zond zijne zekerheid op hem neder en versterkte hem met legers en engelen, die gij niet zaagt. En hij vernederde het woord van hen, die niet geloofden en Gods woord werd verheven; want God is machtig en wijs.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se non soccorrerete il vostro profeta, Dio lo ajuterà, come l’ha già ajutato quando gl’infedeli lo cacciarono, lui essendo secondo. Erano in due in una caverna; ed egli disse al suo compagno: Non t’alliggere, poichè Dio è con noi. Egli ha fatta venire dall’alto la sua protezione, l’ha sostenuta colle sue armi, ed ha umiliata la parola degl’infedeli. La parola di Dio è molto più elevata. Dio è il potente, il savio.
