EnglishSaheeh International
Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allāh said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.

(நபியே!) மரண பயத்தால் தம் வீடுகளைவிட்டும், ஆயிரக்கணக்கில் வெளியேறியவர்களை நீர் கவனிக்கவில்லையா? அல்லாஹ் அவர்களிடம் "இறந்து விடுங்கள்" என்று கூறினான்; மீண்டும் அவர்களை உயிர்ப்பித்தான்;. நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ் மனிதர்கள் மீது பெரும் கருணையுடையவன்; ஆனால் மனிதர்களில் பெரும்பாலோர் நன்றி செலுத்துவதில்லை.

ඔවුන් දහස් ගණනින් සිටිය දී මරණයට බියෙන් තම නිවෙස්වලින් බැහැරව ගියවුන් දෙස නුඹ නො බැලුවෙහි ද? එවිට ‘නුඹලා මිය යනු’ යැයි අල්ලාහ් ඔවුනට පැවසුවේ ය. පසුව ඔහු ඔවුනට යළි ජීවය දුන්නේ ය. නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ් ජනයා වෙත භාග්‍ය සම්පන්නයා ය. එහෙත් ජනයාගෙන් බහුතරය කෘතවේදී නො වෙති.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
کیا تم نے انہیں نہیں دیکھا جو ہزاروں کی تعداد میں تھے اور موت کے ڈر کے مارے اپنے گھروں سے نکل کھڑے ہوئے تھے۔ اللہ تعالیٰ نے انہیں فرمایا مرجاؤ، پھر انہیں زنده کردیا بے شک اللہ تعالیٰ لوگوں پر بڑا فضل واﻻ ہے، لیکن اکثر لوگ ناشکرے ہیں۔

あなたは,自分の家から出て行った者たちを見なかったのか。かれらは死を恐れたためにそうしたが,その数は何千人に及んだ。アッラーはかれらに向かって「死ね。」と言われ,それから甦らせられた。誠にアッラーは人間への恩恵の主であられる。だが人びとの多くは感謝しない 。

你没有知道,那为怕死而整千整万的从自己家里逃亡出去的人吗?真主曾对他们说:你们死亡吧。嗣後,又使他们复活。真主对於世人确是有恩惠的,但世人大半不感谢。

Tafsir of 2:243

In his Tafsir, Waki` bin Jarrah said that Ibn `Abbas commented, أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ خَرَجُواْ مِن دِيَرِهِمْ وَهُمْ أُلُوفٌ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ (Did you (O Muhammad) not think of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death) that they were four thousand persons who escaped the plague (that broke out in their land). They said, "We should go to a land that is free of death!" When they reached a certain area, Allah said to them: مُوتُواْ ("Die.") and they all died. Afterwards, one of the Prophets passed by them and supplicated to Allah to resurrect them and Allah brought them back to life.…
