ከአዕራቦች ወደ ኋላ ለቀሩት በላቸው ፡ - « የብርቱ ጭካኔ ባለቤት ወደ ኾኑ ሕዝቦች ( ውጊያ ) ወደ ፊት ትጥጠራላችሁ ፡ ፡ ትጋደሏቸዋላችሁ ፤ ወይም ይሰልማሉ ፡ ፡ ብትታዘዙም አላህ መልካም ምንዳን ይሰጣችኋል ፡ ፡ ከአሁን በፊት እንደ ሸሻችሁ ብትሸሹም አሳማሚን ቅጣት ይቀጣችኋል ፡ ፡ »
Say to those of the dwellers of the desert who were left behind : You shall soon be invited ( to fight ) against a people possessing mighty prowess ; you will fight against them until they submit ; then if you obey , Allah will grant you a good reward ; and if you turn back as you turned back before , He will punish you with a painful punishment .
