those desert arabs who remained behind will say to you our belongings and our families kept us occupied so ask forgiveness for us. they will say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. say who then has any power at all on your behalf with god if his will is to do you harm or if he intends to do you good? indeed god is well aware of all that you do.
سيقول لك المخلفون من الأعراب شغلتنا أموالنا وأهلونا فاستغفر لنا يقولون بألسنتهم ما ليس في قلوبهم قل فمن يملك لكم من الله شيئا إن أراد بكم ضرا أو أراد بكم نفعا بل كان الله بما تعملون خبيرا
