How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 47:21 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →

Obedience and a civil word. Then, when the matter is determined, if they are loyal to Allah it will be well for them
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
And if, when the command for war is issued, they are true to God, it will be assuredly best for them
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Preferable for them were obedience and a reasonable speech! But when the matter is determined on, then if they believed God it were better for them
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
obedience and word recognised so when he resolved upon the matter so if they spoke truth Allah he was good for them

Generated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
