قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِىَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Qul araaytum in ahlakaniya All a hu waman maAAiya aw ra h iman a faman yujeeru alk a fireena min AAa tha bin aleem in
SAY [O Prophet]: "What do you think? Whether God destroys me and those who follow me, or graces us with His mercy21 - is there anyone that could protect [you] deniers of the truth from grievous suffering [in the life to come]?"
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., "Whether we succeed in spreading God's message or not, what have you unbelievers to gain?"

Further say: "Have you ever considered that even if Allah destroys me as well as those with me or bestows His mercy on us; who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Say, 'O Prophet,' 'Consider this: whether Allah causes me and those with me to die or shows us mercy, who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?'1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Meaning, whether Allah takes our lives (as you wish) or grants us a long life, it is all good for us. But who will protect you from Allah if you disbelieve in Him.

Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Say: "See ye? If Allah were to destroy me and those with me or if He bestows His Mercy on us yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?" 5589
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The sceptics might say and do say to the righteous: "Ah well! if calamities come, they involve the good with the bed, just as you say that Allah showers His mercies on both good and evil!" The answer is: "Don't you worry about us: even supposing we are destroyed, with all who believe with us, is that any consolation to you? Your sins must bring on you suffering, and nothing can ward it off. If we get any sorrows or sufferings, we take them as a mere trial to make us better, for we believe in Allah's goodness and we put our trust in Him." See next verse.
