Word by word

إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَإِذَا كَانُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ لَّمْ يَذْهَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَسْتَـْٔذِنُوهُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَـْٔذِنُونَكَ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۚ فَإِذَا ٱسْتَـْٔذَنُوكَ لِبَعْضِ شَأْنِهِمْ فَأْذَن لِّمَن شِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمُ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

The believers are only those who believe in Allāh 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 Muḥammad] - those are the ones who believe in Allāh and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission due to something of their affairs, then give permission to whom you will among them and ask forgiveness for them of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

إنما المؤمنون حقًا هم الذين صدَّقوا الله ورسوله، وعملوا بشرعه، وإذا كانوا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على أمر جمعهم له في مصلحة المسلمين، لم ينصرف أحد منهم حتى يستأذنه، إن الذين يستأذنونك - أيها النبي - هم الذين يؤمنون بالله ورسوله حقًا، فإذا استأذنوك لبعض حاجتهم فَأْذَن لمن شئت ممن طلب الإذن في الانصراف لعذر، واطلب لهم المغفرة من الله. إن الله غفور لذنوب عباده التائبين، رحيم بهم.
