have you not seen those to whom it has been said restrain your hands establish your prayers and pay the obligatory charity then as soon as fighting is written for them there is a party of them fearing people as they would fear allah or with stronger fear. and they say our lord why have you written fighting for us why not postpone us to a near term say the pleasure of this life is little. the everlasting life is better for the cautious. you shall not be wronged a single tissue .
ألم تر إلى الذين قيل لهم كفوا أيديكم وأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة فلما كتب عليهم القتال إذا فريق منهم يخشون الناس كخشية الله أو أشد خشية وقالوا ربنا لم كتبت علينا القتال لولا أخرتنا إلى أجل قريب قل متاع الدنيا قليل والآخرة خير لمن اتقى ولا تظلمون فتيلا
