第三节进一步延续了前一节的主题，阐明了那些否认复活的不信道者的状况。显然，这些人正是先知所面对的多神教徒，先知呼吁他们相信他的使命。本节指示先知以最坚决的语气向他们确认，复活必定会发生。此外，它还描绘了审判日的一幅场景，展现了否认复活之人与承认复活之人两类人的不同命运。经文呼吁他们信仰、顺服，并将世间发生的一切归于全能的真主。
The third section carries the theme of the previous one further, stating the situation of those unbelievers who deny the resurrection. It is clearly apparent that these were the idolaters whom the Prophet addressed, calling on them to believe in his message. This section instructs the Prophet to confirm, most emphatically, to them that the resurrection will certainly take place. Indeed, it adds a scene from the Day of Judgement that depicts the fates of the two groups who either deny or accept it. It calls on them to believe, obey and attribute everything that happens in the world to God Almighty:
不信道者声称他们不会复活。你说:"不然!以我的主发誓,你们必定会复活,然后你们必定会被告知你们所做的一切。这对真主来说是容易的。""所以你们应当信仰真主和他的使者,也应当信仰我所降示的光明。真主是完全知道你们所做的。"[想想]那一天,他将把你们所有人聚集在聚集之日,那是互相显露得失的日子。凡信仰真主并行善的人,他将消除他的罪恶,并让他进入下有河流流过的乐园,他们将永居其中。那就是至大的成功。
The unbelievers allege that they will not be raised from the dead. Say, 'Yes indeed! By my Lord, you will certainly be raised from the dead, and then you will certainly be told of all that you have done. This is easy for God. "Believe then in God and His Messenger, and in the light which We have bestowed from on high. God is fully aware of what you do. [Think of] the time when He will gather you all together for the Day of the Gathering, the day of mutual loss and gain. For anyone who shall have believed in God and done what is right, He will efface his bad deeds and will admit him into gardens through which running waters flow, where they will abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.
但那些不信并否认我们启示的人，注定要进入火狱，永居其中。那是何等恶劣的归宿！除非得到真主的允许，任何灾祸都不会降临于任何人身上。凡信仰真主的人，他必引导其心。真主是全知万物的。
But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations are destined for the fire where they will abide. How miserable an end! No calamity can ever befall anyone except by God's leave. He will guide the heart of anyone who believes in Him. God has full knowledge of all things.
所以你们要服从真主，服从使者。如果你们背弃，那么要知道，我的使者的责任只是清楚地传达使命。真主：
So obey God, and obey the Messenger. If you turn away, know that Our Messenger's only duty is to deliver his message in full clarity. God:
除祂之外，别无真神。信士们应当把自己的信靠寄托于真主。（第7-13节）
there is no deity other than Him. In God, then, let the believers place their trust. (Verses 7-13)
从一开始，这一章就把不信者的说法称为“虚妄的断言”，从而斥之为谎言。随后又命令先知以最坚定的语气宣告他关于复活的使命，并指以他的主起誓，确认其为真实。再没有比先知以他的主所起的誓更加坚定的了。“你说：‘不然！我指我的主发誓，你们必定被复活，然后必定被告知你们所做的一切。’”（第7节）其中的任何一件事都不会被忽略。
Right from the start the surah describes the unbelievers argument as an ‘allegation, thereby branding it as a lie. It follows this with a directive to the Prophet to assert his message of resurrection most emphatically, swearing by his Lord to its truth. Nothing can be more emphatic than an oath the Prophet makes by his Lord. "Say: Yes indeed! By my Lord, you will certainly be raised from the dead, and then you will certainly be told of all that you have done." (Verse 7) Nothing of it will suffer neglect.
真主比他们更知道他们的所作所为,所以在复活日,祂会将这一切告诉他们。"这对真主来说是容易的。"祂知道天地间的一切,无论是明显的还是隐秘的,也知道人心中所藏的,无论说出与否。祂也有权能驾驭万物,正如本章前文所述。
God knows their deeds better than they do, so He will tell them all about it on the Day of Resurrection. "This is easy for God." He knows all that is in the heavens and the earth, open and secret, as well as what is in peoples hearts, expressed or otherwise. He also has power over all things, as stated earlier in the surah.
随后，该章号召他们信仰真主和祂的使者，并信仰真主赐予祂使者的光，即《古兰经》以及体现在《古兰经》中的信仰。它确实是光，因为它来自真主，而"真主是天地的光。"（24：35）
The surah then calls on them to believe in God and His Messenger, and in the light He has given His Messenger, which is the Qur’an and the faith embodied in the Qur’an. It is indeed light, since it comes from God, and "God is the light of the heavens and the earth." (24: 35)
《古兰经》照亮心灵，使其光明，能够看见真理。
The Qur’an enlightens the heart to make it shine, able to see the truth 53
《古兰经》荫下 其中蕴含的：“你们应当信仰真主及其使者，应当信仰我所降示的光明。”（第8节） 这一号召他们信仰的话语之后，接着是一句评述，使他们意识到自己的处境完全在真主的洞察之中：“真主完全知道你们的所作所为。”（第8节）
In the Shade of the Qur’an inherent within it: “Believe then in God and His Messenger, and in the light which We have bestowed from on high” (Verse 8) This call on them to believe is followed by a comment that makes them realize that their situation is fully observed by God: “God is fully aware of what you do.” (Verse 8)
接下来的经文继续描绘复活日的景象：
The next verse continues to draw the scene of the Day of Resurrection:
“[你们应当记住]他将在集合日把你们全体集合起来的那日，那是互相亏盈的日子。”（66:9）之所以称为集合日，是因为在那一天，历代的一切受造物都会被聚集在一起，天使也会在场。
“[Think of] the time when He will gather you all together for the Day of the Gathering, the day of mutual loss and gain.” yerse 9) It is called the Day of the Gathering because all creatures from all generations are gathered together on that day, which is also attended by the angels.
只有真主知道天使的数目,但当我们思考下面这段圣训时,或许能对此有所领会。在这段圣训中,艾卜·载尔引述先知ﷺ的话说:"我所看见的,你们看不见;我所听见的,你们听不见。诸天在喧嚷,它有理由喧嚷:天上没有一指宽的地方,不是有一位天使额头贴地,向真主叩拜。如果你们知道我所知道的,你们就会少笑多哭,也不会以妻妾为乐。你们会走上山岗荒野,虔诚地向真主祈求。我真希望自己是一棵被砍倒的树。"(提尔米兹所传)
在这片天空中,每四指宽的空间里都有一位天使,而这片天空的广阔是我们无法测量的;在其中,像我们太阳这样的星球,看起来不过是漂浮在空气中的一粒微尘。这是否能让我们对其中天使的数目有一个大致的估计呢?此外,所有这些天使都将在集合之日,成为聚集万物的一部分。
Only God knows the numbers of the angels, but we may have a sense of it when we reflect on the following hadith in which Abu Dharr quotes the Prophet as saying: “I see and hear what you do not. The heavens is noisily bustling, and rightly so: there is not a four-finger width in it but occupied by an angel with his forehead placed low in prostration before God. Were you to know what I know, you would have laughed but a little and wept much, and you would not have enjoyed being in bed with women. You would have gone up the hills and mountains earnestly appealing to God. I wish I were a tree to be felled.” [Related by al-TirmidhL] The heaven in which there is an angel in every little space of four fingers is this great expanse for which we know no limit, and in which a sun like ours appears to be no more than a fine particle floating in the air. Does this then give us an approximation for the number of angels in it? Furthermore, all these angels will form part of the assembled mass of creatures on the Day of Gathering.
正是在这伟大的聚会之前，盈亏将会显现：信士将独自享有一切幸福，而不信者则完全被剥夺，然后被投入火狱。这是两种截然不同的命运。我们所领会的意思，犹如一场竞争，赢者通吃。因此，双方都想剥夺其对手。信士成为赢家，不信者成为输家。这就是经文中所说的相互的盈亏，正如同一节经文及其后文所解释的："凡信奉真主并行善的人，他将消除他的罪恶，并使他进入下面有河流的乐园，他们将永居其中。那是伟大的成功。但不信者并否认我的迹象的人，他们注定进入火狱，永居其中。"
It will be in front of this great assembly that the loss and gain will take place: the believers will take all happiness purely for themselves while the unbelievers will be totally deprived of it before being sent to hell. These are two greatly different lots. The sense we receive is that of a competition where the winners take all. Hence, each side wants to deprive its competitors. The believers end up winners and the unbelievers losers. This is what is meant by mutual loss and gain, as explained in the same verse and that which follows: “For anyone who shall have believed in God and done what is right, He will efface his bad deeds and will admit him into gardens through which running waters flow, where they will abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph. But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations are destined for the fire where they will abide.
“多么悲惨的结局！”（第9-10节）
How miserable an end!” (Verses 9-10)
在号召他们信仰之前，本章先阐明了伊斯兰信仰的一项核心要素：相信神的旨意，以及信仰神对人心所产生的影响："除非奉神的许可，没有任何灾祸会降临任何人。谁信仰神，神就引导谁的心。神是全知万事的。"（第11节）
Before completing the call to them to believe, the surah states one of the main elements of the Islamic faith, which is to believe in Gods will and the effect of belief in God on the human heart: “No calamity can ever befall anyone except by God's leave. He will guide the heart of anyone who believes in Him. God has full knowledge of all things.” (Verse 11)
也许此处陈述这一事实，只是为了将其明确置于他们被要求接受的信仰背景之中。这是一种将万事归于真主的信念，任何善或恶的发生，都只因真主的意志。这是一个根本性的事实，缺少它，信仰便不完整。
Perhaps this fact is stated here only to put it clearly within the context of the faith they are called upon to adopt. It is a belief that attributes everything to God, and whatever good or evil takes place occurs only by Gods will. This is an essential fact without which faith is incomplete.
这确实是信士面对生活中各种事件和境遇时，无论是顺遂快乐还是艰难痛苦，所有感受的基础。另一方面，这一事实在此被提出，是针对当时发生的某件事情，而这件事在启示此章或此节经文时，人们心中是清楚明白的。无论具体情况如何，这一事实都体现了伊斯兰教在信士心中树立的观念中的一个重要方面。因此，他感受到真主的手在每一件事情和每一个举动背后。无论降临在他身上的是喜乐还是逆境，他都以平静的心来接受。在前一种情况下，他感恩；在后一种情况下，他表现出忍耐。或者，他可以提升到更高的境界，无论是在喜乐还是逆境中，都向真主致谢，因为他感到二者都是真主的恩赐。
It is indeed the basis of all feelings a believer may have when facing life events and situations, good and happy or bad and miserable. On the other hand, this fact is stated here in response to something that took place and was clear in people’s minds at the time of the revelation of this surah or this verse. Regardless of the exact situation, this fact represents an important aspect of the concept Islam implants in a believers consciousness. He thus feels Gods hand behind every event and every move. He receives with a calm heart whatever happens to him, whether it brings him happiness or adversity. He expresses his gratitude in the first case and demonstrates patience in the second. Alternatively, he may rise to a higher level, expressing his thanks to God in both cases of happiness and adversity, feeling that both bring him God’s blessings.
他接着便会把逆境视为一种提醒，或视为可能带来过往罪过宽恕或增加回报的机会。在一段可靠的圣训中，先知ﷺ说："信士的境况令人惊叹：真主所定的一切对他都是好的。若遭遇逆境，他便忍耐，这对他是好的；若遇到顺心之事，他便感谢真主，这对他也是好的。这种情况只适用于信士，别无他人。"［布哈里和穆斯林辑录。］"凡信仰真主的人，他必引导其心"（第11节）
He then sees adversity as a reminder for him or an occasion that may bring him forgiveness of past sins or an increase in his reward. In an authentic hadith, the Prophet is quoted as saying: “Amazing is the believer’s situation: whatever God determines is good for him. Should he meet with adversity, he resorts to patience and this is good for him, while if he meets with what is pleasant, he expresses his gratitude to God, and this is good for him. This situation applies to no one other than a believer.” [Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.] “He will guide the heart of anyone who believes in Him” (Verse 11)
有些注释者将此解释为：相信神的意志，并在遭遇灾难时顺服于祂的意志。然而，伊本·阿拔斯认为，这句经文表示的是赐予信士之心的完全引导，使他们认识绝对的真理。因此，他们将一切事物和一切事件都归于神，祂是万物的本源与归宿。
Some commentators explain this as meaning belief in God’s will and being resigned to it in the event of facing a calamity. Ibn 'Abbas, however, takes this statement as indicating complete guidance granted to believing hearts, making them recognize the absolute truth. Thus they attribute all things and all events to God, their source and goal.
这给予他们安慰与宽慰。拥有如此完整而全面的视野，他们便不会受制于可能有所欠缺或错误的片面之见。因此，经文末尾说：“真主是全知万物的。”（第11节）这实际上是在引导人们获得真主知识的一部分。真主将这份引导赐予真正信仰的人，使其得以领略这有限人生之外的某些奥秘，作为对其信仰的回报。
This provides them with reassurance and comfort. With such a complete and comprehensive vision, they are not encumbered by a partial view that may be deficient or erroneous. Hence, the comment at the end of the verse: “God has full knowledge of all things." (verse. 11) It is, then, guidance to a share of Gods knowledge. God grants this guidance to a person who truly believes, thus earning the prize of knowing something of what lies beyond this limited human life.
该章继续呼吁人们信道，此时号召他们服从真主和祂的使者：“你们当服从真主，服从使者。如果你们转身离去，那么你们should知道：我的使者的职责只是明白地传达（讯息）。”（第12节）
该章此前已向他们展示了那些背弃信仰的古代民族所遭受的结局。现在它告诉他们，真主使者的职责仅仅是传达真主的讯息。当他完成这一使命时，他就已履行了所托付的责任，并将证据呈现在他们面前。剩下的，便是那些固执于违抗与拒绝之人所应得的结局。他们此前已经得到过这样的提醒。
The surah continues with its call on people to believe, calling them now to obey God and His Messenger: “So obey God, and obey the Messenger. If you turn away, know that Our Messengers only duty is to deliver his message in full clarity" (Verse 12) The surah has already shown them the end suffered by earlier communities who turned away. Now it tells them that the role of Gods Messenger is only to deliver His message. When he has done this, he has fulfilled the trust assigned to him and put the proof before them. What remains is the fate merited by those who are stubborn in disobedience and rejection. They have already been reminded of this.
本段最后重申了真主独一的真理,而那些人却一再否认这一点。它还阐述了信士对待真主的态度:"真主,除他以外别无应受崇拜者,信士们应当只信靠真主。"(第13节)真主独一的真理是信仰的核心。它在实践中的意义,是将全部的信靠托付给真主,并且唯独依靠他。这节经文是连接本章前后各部分的桥梁,也连接着本章最后那段对信士们的训谕。
This section concludes by restating the truth of Gods oneness, which they persistently deny. It also states the believers attitude in dealing with God: “God: there is no deity other than Him. In God, then, let the believers place their trust" (Verse 13) The truth of Gods oneness is the essence of faith. Its practical import is to place ones total trust in God and to rely on Him alone. This verse provides a bridge between these sections of the surah and its final one which comes as an address to the believers.
