هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِیَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَ زُلْزِلُوْا زِلْزَالًا شَدِیْدًا۝۱۱

The faithful were sorely tried there and were shaken completely,

وَ اِذْ یَقُوْلُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗۤ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا۝۱۲

When the hypocrites and those who were filled with doubt, said: "The promise of God and His Apostle was nothing but deceit."

وَ اِذْ قَالَتْ طَّآىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ یٰۤاَهْلَ یَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوْا ۚ وَ یَسْتَاْذِنُ فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمُ النَّبِیَّ یَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنَّ بُیُوْتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ ۛؕ وَ مَا هِیَ بِعَوْرَةٍ ۛۚ اِنْ یُّرِیْدُوْنَ اِلَّا فِرَارًا۝۱۳

When a section of them said: "O people of Yathrib, there is no place for you here, turn back;" and a section of them asked leave of the Prophet, saying: "Our homes lie exposed," -- while they were not exposed. Their only intention was to run away.

وَ لَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ اَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُىِٕلُوا الْفِتْنَةَ لَاٰتَوْهَا وَ مَا تَلَبَّثُوْا بِهَاۤ اِلَّا یَسِیْرًا۝۱۴

If the (enemy) had entered the city from every side and asked them to rise in revolt, they would have done so, and not hesitated but a little;

وَ لَقَدْ كَانُوْا عَاهَدُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ لَا یُوَلُّوْنَ الْاَدْبَارَ ؕ وَ كَانَ عَهْدُ اللّٰهِ مَسْـُٔوْلًا۝۱۵

Whereas earlier they had made a promise to God that they would never turn their backs; and a promise made to God is answerable.

قُلْ لَّنْ یَّنْفَعَكُمُ الْفِرَارُ اِنْ فَرَرْتُمْ مِّنَ الْمَوْتِ اَوِ الْقَتْلِ وَ اِذًا لَّا تُمَتَّعُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا۝۱۶

Say: "Of no gain will be your running away if you run from death or being killed, even then you will enjoy the good things of life but only for a while."

قُلْ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِیْ یَعْصِمُكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ سُوْٓءًا اَوْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ رَحْمَةً ؕ وَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِیًّا وَّ لَا نَصِیْرًا۝۱۷

Say: "Who will save you from God if He decide to afflict you or show you His mercy?" They will never find a friend or helper apart from God.

قَدْ یَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ الْمُعَوِّقِیْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَ الْقَآىِٕلِیْنَ لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ هَلُمَّ اِلَیْنَا ۚ وَ لَا یَاْتُوْنَ الْبَاْسَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًاۙ۝۱۸

Surely God knows who among you obstruct, and those who say to their brethren: "Come to us," and go to battle but seldom,

اَشِحَّةً عَلَیْكُمْ ۖۚ فَاِذَا جَآءَ الْخَوْفُ رَاَیْتَهُمْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ تَدُوْرُ اَعْیُنُهُمْ كَالَّذِیْ یُغْشٰی عَلَیْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ ۚ فَاِذَا ذَهَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوْكُمْ بِاَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ اَشِحَّةً عَلَی الْخَیْرِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَمْ یُؤْمِنُوْا فَاَحْبَطَ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ؕ وَ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرًا۝۱۹

Being chary of helping you. But when danger appears you will find them looking at you with eyes turning like a man´s in the swoon of death. Yet when the danger is past they lash you with sharp tongues, covetous of the best (of booty). Such as these have not come to belief. So God nullifies whatever they have done. This is how (the innate law of) God works inevitably.

یَحْسَبُوْنَ الْاَحْزَابَ لَمْ یَذْهَبُوْا ۚ وَ اِنْ یَّاْتِ الْاَحْزَابُ یَوَدُّوْا لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ بَادُوْنَ فِی الْاَعْرَابِ یَسْاَلُوْنَ عَنْ اَنْۢبَآىِٕكُمْ ؕ وَ لَوْ كَانُوْا فِیْكُمْ مَّا قٰتَلُوْۤا اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا۠۝۲۰

They think the allied tribes have not withdrawn; and if the allied tribes had advanced they would have wished that they were rather with the Arabs of the desert asking news of you; and had they been among you they would have fought but just a little.
