And may distinguish the hypocrites who were told: "Fight in the way of God, or defend yourselves," and who had replied: "If we knew of the fight we would have followed you." They were nearer unbelief than faith on that day, and they said with their tongues what was not in their hearts; but God is aware of what they hide.
و تا كسانى را كه دورويى كردند معلوم گرداند و [چون‌] به آنها گفته شد: بياييد در راه خدا كارزار يا دفاع كنيد، گفتند: اگر مى‌دانستيم كه جنگى خواهد بود هر آينه شما را پيروى مى‌كرديم، آنان در آن روز به كفر نزديكتر بودند تا به ايمان با دهانهاشان چيزى مى‌گويند كه در دلهاشان نيست، و خدا بدانچه پنهان مى‌دارند داناتر است.
