So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds.
あなたがたが不信心な者と（戦場で）見える時は，（かれらの）首を打ち切れ。かれらの多くを殺すまで（戦い），（捕虜には）縄をしっかりかけなさい。その後は戦いが終るまで情けを施して放すか，または身代金を取るなりせよ。もしアッラーが御望みなら，きっと（御自分で）かれらに報復されよう。だがかれは，あなたがたを互いに試みるために（戦いを命じられる）。凡そアッラーの道のために戦死した者には，決してその行いを虚しいものになされない。
