إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۭ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٌ أَوْ جَآءُوكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُورُهُمْ أَن يُقَٰتِلُوكُمْ أَوْ يُقَٰتِلُوا۟ قَوْمَهُمْ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلَقَٰتَلُوكُمْ ۚ فَإِنِ ٱعْتَزَلُوكُمْ فَلَمْ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمْ وَأَلْقَوْا۟ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ فَمَا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبِيلًۭا

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

excepté ceux qui se joignent à un groupe avec lequel vous avez conclu une alliance, ou ceux qui viennent chez vous, le cœur serré d'avoir à vous combattre ou à combattre leur propre tribu. Si Allah avait voulu, Il leur aurait donné l'audace (et la force) contre vous, et ils vous auraient certainement combattu. (Par conséquent,) s'ils restent neutres à votre égard et ne vous combattent point, et qu'ils vous offrent la paix, alors, Allah ne vous donne pas de chemin contre eux.

English

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

Except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant, or (those who) come unto you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah alloweth you no way against them.
