وَإِن يُرِيدُواْ خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُواْ اللّهَ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Wain yureedoo khiyanataka faqad khanoo Allaha min qablu faamkana minhum waAllahu AAaleemun hakeemun
The Aya says:
And if they seek to betray you (singular) then they had betrayed Allah before so He made secure/ enabled from them and Allah is knowing, wise.
My personal note:
The Aya reassures the prophet yet another time not to worry about potential betrayal from the side of the freed captives for they had done that before against Allah and Allah secured his followers and enabled them from them. So, there should not be fear or paranoia in a sense from doing the right and good thing and Allah takes care of the matters of protection of the believers and of the protection of His religion.
There is an interesting twist in that the Aya ended in Knowing, wise rather than the more common usage of dominantly strong, wise. Here, it is probably to reassure the prophet and the believers that nothing happens without his knowledge and He allows to happen for a reason in His wisdom. Allah is still dominantly strong and will also overpower and annul all the negative schemes of those who do them.

Wain: and if
Yureedoo: they seek/ they attempt/ they aim

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّمَن فِي أَيْدِيكُم مِّنَ الأَسْرَى إِن يَعْلَمِ اللّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْرًا يُؤْتِكُمْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّا أُخِذَ مِنكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

The Aya says:
O you the prophet say to those in your (plural) hands of the captives: “If Allah knows for fact in your hearts goodness, He will give you better than was taken from you and forgive you and Allah is forgiving, merciful”
My personal note:
The Aya carries a message to the captives of war in the hands of the Muslims after the battle of Badr. It basically tells them to look deep in their hearts and if they see goodness then it reassures them that Allah will give them a better compensation for their losses, whether they were physical, mental or monetary. It is telling them not to be bitter or dwell upon their losses but to be honest in their hearts and in their relationship with God.
In another subtle message, it tells the believers not to close their hearts to those “enemies” for they may turn around and become their brothers one day. So, the animosity should never be personalized or internalized or be made intractable. They fought for the freedom and the survival of their very young muslim state and those people who they fought and caught on that day may become their colleagues tomorrow and they should have a place in their hearts for them.
And this is what happened for eventually the majority of those captives of the battle became muslims at some point in the future.

The Aya says:
Therefore eat from what you have acquired, permitted, good and be mindful of Allah. Indeed, Allah is forgiving, merciful.
My personal note:
The Aya continues after it admonished the muslims for taking the prisoners of war and asking for their ransom. It continues that Allah now allowed them to benefit from the ransom and gains that they acquired and therefore they become permitted and good for them to use. It also reminded them that Allah is always forgiving merciful and graceful for most of our transgressions.
Translation of the transliterated words:

لَّوْلاَ كِتَابٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
Lawla kitabun mina Allahi sabaqa lamassakum feema akhathtum AAathabun AAatheemun
The Aya says:
Except for an ordinance from Allah that had already preceded then would have hit you (plural) ,by what you took, great punishment.
My personal note:
The aya talks that that they would have been punished for taking the captives of way but there was already an ordinance from Allah that protected them from the punishment and this ordinance could have been an ordinance of forgiving them for any wrongdoing they may do or the ordinance that in the future Allah will allow them to have prisoners of war or both. However the bottom line is that they were forgiven and not punished.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Lawla: if not/ except for
Kitabun: a book/ the collection of knowledge/ an already made decision/ an ordinance
Note: the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together. KITABUN means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together. In a sense, it points to the collection of knowledge and information that are communicated. In this context it is pointing to already made decision.
Mina: from
Allahi: Allah
Sabaqa: preceded
Note: SABAQA is derived from the root S-B-Qaf and it means being ahead in time or place or in a race. Conceptually, it is used for preceding and for racing. SABAQA is an action that is completed. It means the action of preceding happened by the subject (third person singular).
Lamassakum: then would have touched you (plural)
Note: la is for answering the conditional. Massakum is derived from the root M-S-S and it means touching. Conceptually, it takes many meanings that are related to touch and they range from just touch to deep influence and so on according to the context. MASSA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of touching or affecting the object (KUM= plural you) happened by the subject (AAathab= suffering).
Feema: in what
Akhathtum: you (plural) took
Note: AKHATHTUM is derived from the root Hamza-KH-TH and it means taking. AKHATHTUM is an action that is completed. It means: the action of taking the object (MA= what) happened by the subject (second person plural).
AAathabun: suffering/ punishment
Note: the root is Ain-TH-B and it means an easy to swallow food or drink. AAaTHAB is what makes one not take an easy to swallow food or drink. That is suffering of.
AAatheemun: great
Note: the root is Ain-TH-M and it means great/hard/strong. The concrete word is AAaTHM and that is the bones or the hard/strong/firm core of things. AAaTHEEM means great.

مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللّهُ يُرِيدُ الآخِرَةَ وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Ma kana linabiyyin an yakoona lahu asra hatta yuthkhina fee alardi tureedoona AAarada alddunya waAllahu yureedu alakhirata waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun
The Aya says:
It was not for a prophet to take captives until he is firmly established in the land. You (plural) aim for the offerings of this life and Allah aims for the next one and Allah is dominantly strong, wise.
My personal note:
The Aya comes after the first battle between the muslims and the people of Mecca when the muslims won and took captives of war. The Aya remanded the prophet for taking captives of war and that was not the best thing to do at the time until he is more established in the land. So, it applies mainly and possibly only to that situation.
The Aya reminds the muslims that they should aim for the next life rather than getting distracted with the offerings of this life. It also reassures them that this is coming from Allah who is powerful but also wise. So, there is wisdom in this decision although we may not be able to grasp it.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Ma: not
Kana: was/ happened to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KANA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal singular or plural). This in turn means: He/ they was or He/ they happened to be. MA KANA is somewhat of an idiom to mean: it should not be/ it should not happen
Linabiyyin: for a prophet/ to a prophet
Note: LI means for or to. NABIYY is derived from one of two roots either The first is N-B-Hamza and it means news. The other is N-B-Y and it means elevated. The word NABIYY means a prophet, and it could be because the prophet brings news or that he is elevated over others or both.

مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللّهُ يُرِيدُ الآخِرَةَ وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Ma kana linabiyyin an yakoona lahu asra hatta yuthkhina fee alardi tureedoona AAarada alddunya waAllahu yureedu alakhirata waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun
It was not for a prophet to take captives until he is firmly established in the land. You (plural) aim for the offerings of this life and Allah aims for the next one and Allah is dominantly strong, wise.
The Aya comes after the first battle between the muslims and the people of Mecca when the muslims won and took captives of war. The Aya remanded the prophet for taking captives of war and that was not the best thing to do at the time until he is more established in the land. So, it applies mainly and possibly only to that situation.
The Aya reminds the muslims that they should aim for the next life rather than getting distracted with the offerings of this life. It also reassures them that this is coming from Allah who is powerful but also wise. So, there is wisdom in this decision although we may not be able to grasp it.
