Allāh is the one who expelled the unbelievers from among People of the Book, the Banū an-Naḍīr, from their homes at the first confrontation between them and you. You thought they would not go out, and they themselves thought their fortresses would protect them from Allāh. So Allāh approached them from whence they had not reckoned—He cast terror in their hearts to the extent that they started destroying their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take a lesson, O you who have insight.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

It is He who expelled the faithless belonging to the People of the Book from their homes at the outset of [their] en masse banishment.

So take lesson, O you who have insight!Ali Quli Qarai

It is He who expelled the ones who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering.

So take warning, O people of vision.Saheeh International

Based on the pre-Islamic practice, the elite came to the Prophet to get their share of the spoils. Whatever Allāh has restored to His Messenger from the possessions of the people of the towns (such as Banū an-Naḍīr), that is for Allāh, for His Messenger, for his relatives: especially those among them who are the orphans, the needy, and the stranded traveller—so that it does not become a means of perpetual circulation among the rich among you. As a general rule, do not question the Prophet’s decision: whatever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatever he forbids you, refrain from it; and fear displeasing Allāh, verily Allāh is severe in retribution.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

The spoils that Allah gave to His Apostle from the people of the townships, are for Allah and the Apostle, the relatives and the orphans, the needy and the traveller, so that they do not circulate among the rich among you.

The Prophet can distribute Allāh’s share as he deems appropriate for the poor immigrants who were expelled from their homes and their properties while they were seeking the grace of Allāh and His pleasure, and were helping Allāh and His Messenger. These are the truthful ones.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Similarly, for some needy inhabitants of Medina, those who had prepared the abode in that city and a place of faith before the immigrants came, they love whosoever has migrated towards them, they do not find in their hearts any need for what they, the immigrants, were given from the spoils, and they prefer them over themselves even though poverty be their lot. And whosoever is protected from their own greed, they are the successful ones.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

[They are as well] for those who were settled in the land and [abided] in faith before them, who love those who migrate toward them, and do not find in their breasts any privation for that which is given to them, but prefer [the Immigrants] to themselves, though poverty be their own lot. And those who are saved from their own greed—it is they who are the felicitous.Ali Quli Qarai

And [also for] those who were settled in the Home [i.e.,al-Madīnah] and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what they [i.e., the emigrants] were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.Saheeh International

Then referring to the Hypocrites who promised to help Banū an-Naḍīr, Allāh says: Do not you, O Muḥammad, know of the hypocrites saying to their unbeliever brethren from the People of the Book (i.e., Banū an-Naḍīr) that: "If you are expelled, we will surely go forth with you and we will never obey anyone regarding you, and if you are attacked, we will surely help you.” However, Allāh bears witness that they are indeed liars.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Have you not regarded the hypocrites who say to their brethren, the faithless from among the People of the Book, ‘If you are expelled, we will surely go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you, and if you are fought against we will surely help you,’ and Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars.Ali Quli Qarai

Have you not considered those who practice hypocrisy, saying to their brothers [i.e., associates] who have disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, "If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and we will not obey, in regard to you, anyone - ever; and if you are fought, we will surely aid you."

If the Banū an-Naḍīr were expelled, the hypocrites would not go forth with them, and if they were attacked, the hypocrites would not help them. And even if they were to help the Banū an-Naḍīr, they would surely turn their backs to flee from combat; and then they would not be helped.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Surely, if they were expelled they will not go out with them, and if they were fought against they will not help them, and [even if] they were to help them they will turn their backs [to flee] and eventually they will not be helped.Ali Quli Qarai

If they are expelled, they will not leave with them, and if they are fought, they will not aid them. And [even] if they should aid them, they will surely turn their backs; then [thereafter] they will not be aided.Saheeh International
