Those of the bedouins who lagged behind will say to you: "Our possessions and our families occupied us, so ask forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: "Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with Allah, if He intends you hurt or intends you benefit? Nay, but Allah is Ever All-Aware of what you do.
Watakuambia mabedui walio baki nyuma: Yametushughulisha mali yetu na ahali zetu, basi tuombee msamaha. Wanasema kwa ndimi zao yasiyo kuwamo katika nyoyo zao. Sema: Ni nani awezaye kukusaidieni chochote kwa Mwenyezi Mungu akitaka Yeye kukudhuruni au akitaka kukunufaisheni? Bali Mwenyezi Mungu anazo khabari za mnayo yatenda.
