Translations of this verse 7
Saheeh International
You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allāh much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allāh - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
you are sure to be tested through your possessions and persons; you are sure to hear much that is hurtful from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with God. If you are steadfast and mindful of God, that is the best course.
Marmaduke Pickthall
Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in your persons, and ye will hear much wrong from those who were given the Scripture before you, and from the idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward off (evil), then that is of the steadfast heart of things.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your personal selves; and ye shall certainly Hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the Book before you and from those who worship many gods. But if ye persevere patiently, and guard against evil,-then that will be a determining factor in all affairs.
Mufti Taqi Usmani
Of course, you shall be tested in your wealth and yourselves; and, of course, you shall hear hurting statements from those who have been given the Book before you, and from those who associate (others with Allah in His divinity). If you observe patience and fear Allah, then this (observance) is among the matters of firm resolution.
Al-Hilali & Khan
You shall certainly be tried and tested in your wealth and properties and in your personal selves, and you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allâh; but if you persevere patiently, and become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2) then verily, that will be a determining factor in all affairs (and that is from the great matters which you must hold on with all your efforts).
Abul A'la Maududi (Tafhim)
(Believers!) You will certainly be put to test in respect of your properties and lives, and you will certainly hear many hurtful things from those who were granted the Book before you and those who have associated others with Allah in His divinity. If you remain patient and God-fearing this indeed is a matter of great resolution.

قال تعالى: {لَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَذًى كَثِيرًا وَإِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ (186)} [آل عمران: 186].
93 - عَنْ كعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - رضي الله عنه -، وَكَانَ أَحَدَ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ: كَانَ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ يَهْجُو النَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وَيُحَرِّضُ عَلَيْهِ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - حِينَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَهْلُهَا أَخْلَاطٌ: مِنْهُمْ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَوْثَانَ، وَالْيَهُودُ، وَكَانُوا يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وَأَصْحَابَهُ، فَأَمَرَ اللهُ عَز وَجلَّ نَبِيَّهُ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالْعَفْوِ، فَفِيهِمْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ} الْآيَةَ، فَلَمَّا أَبَى كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ عَنْ أَذَى النَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -، أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ رَهْطاً يَقْتُلُونَهُ، فَبَعَثَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ، وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ قَتْلِهِ، فَلَمَّا قَتَلُوهُ فَزَعَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَغَدَوْا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فَقَالُوا: طُرِقَ صَاحِبُنَا فَقُتِلَ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ النَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ، وَدَعَاهُمْ النَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إِلَى أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ كِتَاباً يَنْتَهُونَ إِلَى مَا فِيهِ، فَكَتَبَ النَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً صَحِيفَةً ¬أخرجه أبو داود برقم: 3000، والبيهقي في السنن: 9/ 183، والدلائل: 3/ 197، وسنده صحيح، والطبراني في الكبير: 19/ 76 برقم: 154، 155، وقال الهيثمى في المجمع: 6/ 195 - 196: رواه أحمد، ورجاله رجال الصحيح، وزاد ابن كثير عزوه في التفسير: 1/ 53 لابن أبي حاتم، وعزاه السيوطي في الدر: 1/ 107 لابن المنذر.¥.
