Sura 47
Aya 31
31
وَلَنَبلُوَنَّكُم حَتّىٰ نَعلَمَ المُجاهِدينَ مِنكُم وَالصّابِرينَ وَنَبلُوَ أَخبارَكُم

Muhammad Asad

and most certainly We shall try you all, so that. We might mark out1 those of you who strive hard [in Our cause] and are patient in adversity: for We shall put2to a test [the truth of] all your assertions.
  • Cf. 3:140, where the verb 'alama has been rendered in the same way.
  • Lit., "your announcements" - i.e., all assertions relating to belief. The "test" consists in one's readiness to undergo any sacrifice - and, since most of this surah deals with the problem of a just war (jihad) in God's cause - even the sacrifice of one's life.
