the arabs of the desert who had stayed behind will now say to you we were occupied with our flocks and herds and families so ask forgiveness for us. they say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. tell them who can prevail with god for you if he wish you harm or benefit? surely god is well aware of what 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
