Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 15
| وَلَقَدْ كَانُوا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ الْأَدْبَارَ ۚ وَكَانَ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ مَسْئُولًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- la- qad kaano caahado 'allaah min qablu laa yuwallon al- adbaar wa- kaana cahd 'allaah mas'ol(an) |
| Pickthall | : | And verily they had already sworn unto Allah that they would not turn their backs (to the foe). An oath to Allah must he answered for. |
| Asad | : | although ere that they had vowed before God that they would never turn their backs [on His message]: and a vow made to God must surely be answered for! |
| Malik | : | Even though they had made covenant with Allah not to show their backs, and the covenant with Allah must surely be answered for. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And yet they had already covenanted with Allah not to turn their backs and a covenant with Allah must (surely) be answered for. 3686 |
Note - 3686Apparently, after the battle of Uhud, certain men who had
then shown cowardice were forgiven on undertaking that
they would behave better next time. A solemn promise made
to the Messenger of Allah is a promise to Allah, and it
cannot be broken with impunity.
