The sedentary Arabs who stay behind will say, “We have been preoccupied with our money and our families, so ask forgiveness for us!” They utter with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say, “Who can protect you from God, if He willed any adversity for you, or if He willed any blessing for you?” God is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
سَيَقولُ لَكَ المُخَلَّفونَ مِنَ الأَعرابِ شَغَلَتنا أَموٰلُنا وَأَهلونا فَاستَغفِر لَنا يَقولونَ بِأَلسِنَتِهِم ما لَيسَ فى قُلوبِهِم قُل فَمَن يَملِكُ لَكُم مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيـًٔا إِن أَرادَ بِكُم ضَرًّا أَو أَرادَ بِكُم نَفعًا بَل كانَ اللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرًا
