have you not seen those who were told restrain your hands and establish prayer and give zakah? but then when fighting was ordained for them at once a party of them feared men as they fear allah or with greater fear. they said our lord why have you decreed upon us fighting? if only you had postponed us for a short time. say the enjoyment of this world is little and the hereafter is better for he who fears allah. and injustice will not be done to you as much as a thread .
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
