ترجمة الآية 62 من سورة An-Nur - English - سورة النور : عدد الآيات 64 - - الصفحة 359 - الجزء 18.
The true believers are only those, who believe in (the Oneness of) Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and when they are with him on some common matter, they go not away until they have asked his permission. Verily! Those who ask your permission, those are they who (really) believe in Allah and His Messenger. So if they ask your permission for some affairs of theirs, give permission to whom you will of them, and ask Allah for their forgiveness. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger and, when they are [meeting] with him for a matter of common interest, do not depart until they have asked his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission, [O Muhammad] - those are the ones who believe in Allah and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission for something of their affairs, then give permission to whom you will among them and ask forgiveness for them of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
(24:62) True Believers *97 are those who sincerely believe in Allah and His Messenger and who do not leave him without permission when they are with the Messenger for some common good; *98 only those who ask your permission sincerely believe in Allah and His Messenger. Therefore, when they ask your permission for a private business, *99 you may give permission to whomever you like, *100 and ask Allah's forgiveness for such people: *101 Allah is indeed Forgiving and Merciful.
*97) These are the final instructions being given to tighten the discipline of the Muslim Community and make it more organised than before.
*98) This Commandment is also applicable in respect of the successors of the Holy Prophet after him and other leaders of the Muslims. When the Muslims are called upon to get together for a common cause, whether relating to war or peace, it is not permissible for them to retreat or disperse without due permission of the leader.
*99) This contains a warning that it is absolutely unlawful to ask permission without any genuine need.
*100) That is, it depends upon the Prophet or his successor after him to grant or not to grant permission even in case of a genuine need. If he deems the collective cause to be more important than the individual need of the person, he may refuse permission, and a believer will not mind it.
*101) This again contains a warning: If in asking permission there is even a tinge of excuse making, or of placing individual interests above collective interests, it would be a sin. Therefore the Prophet or his successor should also pray for the forgiveness of the one whom he gives permission.
