اشحة عليكم فاذا جاء الخوف رايتهم ينظرون اليك تدور اعينهم كالذي يغشى عليه من الموت فاذا ذهب الخوف سلقوكم بالسنة حداد اشحة على الخير اولئك لم يؤمنوا فاحبط الله اعمالهم وكان ذلك على الله يسيرا

Covetous over you Then when fear comes, Thou wilt see them looking To thee, their eyes revolving, Like (those of) one over whom Hovers death: but when The fear is past, They will smite you With sharp tongues, covetous Of goods. Such men have No faith, and so God Has made their deeds Of none effect: and that Is easy for God.
