The Enshrouded One · Juz 29 · Page 575
۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدۡنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٞ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحۡصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرۡضَىٰ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضۡرِبُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَبۡتَغُونَ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنۡهُۚ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا وَأَعۡظَمَ أَجۡرٗاۚ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ ٢٠
Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muḥammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allāh determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it1 and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’ān. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allāh and others fighting for the cause of Allāh. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakāh and loan Allāh a goodly loan.2 And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Commentary on 73:20
使徒よ、主は、時にはあなたが夜間の３分の２近く、または２分の１、または３分の１を、（礼拝に）立つことを知っておられる。またあなたと一諸にいる人びとも同様。アッラーは、夜と昼を仕切るが、しかしかれはあなた方がそれを計れないことを知り、従ってあなた方は希求するものを求めてその大半を立って過ごすことは難しいことも知っている。だからあなた方をアッラーは赦されるので、（夜の礼拝時は）クルアーンのやさしいところを読みなさい。かれは、あなた方の中で病める者もいれば、またある者はアッラーの恩恵を求めて各地を旅し、ある者はアッラーの言葉を最高のものにして満悦を得るべく、その道のために戦っていることを知っている。かれらには夜の大半を立って過ごすことは難しいので、夜にしやすいように礼拝しなさい。ただし定められた礼拝は、きっちりこなし、定めの施しをなし、アッラーの道のために支出しなさい。あなた方が、自分のために行うどのような善いことも、アッラーの御元ではそれがもっと善くなり、もっと大きな報奨になっているのを見出すだろう。あなた方はアッラーの御赦しを請い求めなさい。真にアッラーは、悔い改める僕をよく赦されて、かれらには慈悲深いのだ。
