The Holy Quran 8:72 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَـٰهَدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَوا۟ وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَمْ يُهَاجِرُوا۟ مَا لَكُم مِّن وَلَـٰيَتِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُوا۟ ۚ وَإِنِ ٱسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّصْرُ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۭ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَـٰقٌ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

Translation

Without doubt those who had Imaan, who made Hijrah (migrated for Allaah's pleasure) and who strove in Allaah's way with their wealth and their lives (the Muhaajireen), as well as those who granted shelter (to them) and assisted (the Ansaar), they are all guardians (heirs and helpers) of each other. As for those who had Imaan but did not make Hijrah, you do not have any guardianship over them (you cannot inherit from them nor give them a share of the spoils of war) until they make Hijrah. (However,) If they seek your assistance in Deen (against the Kuffaar), then it will be obligatory upon you to assist them (against any enemy), except against a nation with whom you have entered into a (peace) treaty (You cannot assist them to fight such a nation). Allaah sees all that you do.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

إن الذين صدَّقوا الله، ورسوله وعملوا بشرعه، وهاجروا إلى دار الإسلام، أو بلد يتمكنون فيه من عبادة ربهم، وجاهدوا في سبيل الله بالمال والنفس، والذين أنزلوا المهاجرين في دورهم، وواسوهم بأموالهم، ونصروا دين الله، أولئك بعضهم نصراء بعض.
