2:190

وَقَـٰتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

waqātilū fī sabīli l-lahi alladhīna yuqātilūnakum walā taʿtadū inna l-laha lā yuḥibbu l-muʿ'tadīna

Fight in the way of Allāh those who fight against you but do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors.

— Saheeh International

Fight in God’s cause against those who fight you, but do not overstep the limits: God does not love those who overstep the limits.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (9:36)].

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
