Translations of this verse 7
Saheeh International
And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allāh will find on the earth many [alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allāh and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his reward has already become incumbent upon Allāh. And Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
Anyone who migrates for God’s cause will find many a refuge and great plenty in the earth, and if anyone leaves home as a migrant towards God and His Messenger and is then overtaken by death, his reward from God is sure. God is most forgiving and most merciful.
Marmaduke Pickthall
Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
He who forsakes his home in the cause of Allah, finds in the earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die as a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger, His reward becomes due and sure with Allah: And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Mufti Taqi Usmani
Whoever migrates in the way of Allah shall find on the earth many a place to settle, and a wide dimension (of resources). Whoever leaves his home migrating for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, then, his reward is established with Allah. Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
Al-Hilali & Khan
He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allâh, will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves his home as an emigrant unto Allâh and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward is then surely incumbent upon Allâh. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Abul A'la Maududi (Tafhim)
He who emigrates in the way of Allah will find in the earth enough room for refuge and plentiful resources. And he who goes forth from his house as a migrant in the way of Allah and His Messenger, and whom death overtakes, his reward becomes incumbent on Allah. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

قال تعالى: {* وَمَنْ يُهَاجِرْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَجِدْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُرَاغَمًا كَثِيرًا وَسَعَةً وَمَنْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا (100)} [النساء: 100].
136 - عن ابن عباس -رضي الله عنهما- قال: خرج ضمرة بن جندب من بيته مهاجراً، فقال لأهله: احملوني فأخرجوني من أرض المشركين إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -، فمات في الطريق قبل أن يصل إلى النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -، فنزل الوحي {وَمَنْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ} حتى بلغ {وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا} ¬أخرجه أبو يعلى برقم: 2679، والطبراني في الكبير برقم: 11709. وقال الهيثمي في المجمع: 7/ 10: رواه أبو يعلى ورجاله ثقات، وجرَّد السيوطي إسناده في اللباب: ص 79. وله شواهد ومتابعات عن ابن عباس. أخرجه الطبري برقم: 12094 موصولاً، وعن بعض التابعين مرسلاً، ذكر أكثرها الطبري برقم: 10282 - 10293. وأما اسم الصحابي الذي نزلت فيه هذه الآية فقد اختلف في اسمه على أكثر من عشرة أوجه كما قال الحافظ ابن حجر في الإصابة: 1/ 251 برقم: 1232، ثم رجح أن اسمه جندع بن ضمرة بن أبي العاص الجندعي الضمري أو الليثي.¥.
