( የጠራህባቸው ነገር ) ቅርብ ጥቅምና መካከለኛ ጉዞ በኾነ ኖሮ በተከተሉህ ነበር ፡ ፡ ግን በነሱ ላይ መንገዲቱ ራቀችባቸው ፡ ፡ « በቻልንም ኖሮ ከእናንተ ጋር በወጣን ነበር » ሲሉ በአላህ ይምላሉ ፡ ፡ ነፍሶቻቸውን ያጠፋሉ ፡ ፡ አላህም እነሱ ውሸታሞች መኾናቸውን በእርግጥ ያውቃል ፡ ፡
Had there been some wealth near at hand or a short journey , they would have certainly accompanied you , but the difficult path became very distant for them ; and they will now swear by Allah that “ Had we been able , we would have surely accompanied you ” ; they destroy their own souls ; and Allah knows that undoubtedly , they are indeed liars .
