Translation of the verse 17 from Surah al-‘Imran : Number of verses 200 - - page 52 - Part 3.
(They are) those who are patient ones, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend [give the Zakat and alms in the Way of Allah] and those who pray and beg Allah's Pardon in the last hours of the night.
The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allah], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.
(3:17) men who are steadfast, *13 truthful, obedient, spend (in the way of Allah) and implore the forgiveness of Allah before daybreak.
*13). That is, they are those who remain steadfast in the cause of Truth; who do not lose heart when they either suffer losses or are subjected to afflictions; who do not despair when they encounter reverses; who are not seduced by temptations. They are the ones who remain faithful to the Truth, even when it apparently stands no chance of prevailing (see also Surah 2, n. 60 above).
