الم تر الى الذين قيل لهم كفوا ايديكم واقيموا الصلاة واتوا الزكاة فلما كتب عليهم القتال اذا فريق منهم يخشون الناس كخشية الله او اشد خشية وقالوا ربنا لم كتبت علينا القتال لولا اخرتنا الى اجل قريب قل متاع الدنيا قليل والاخرة خير لمن اتقى ولا تظلمون فتيلا

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those Who were told to hold back Their hands (from fight) But establish regular prayers And spend in regular Charity? When (at length) the order For fighting was issued to them, Behold! a section of them Feared men as Or even more than They should have feared God: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us To fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite To our (natural) term, Near (enough)?" Say: "Short Is the enjoyment of this world: The Hereafter is the best For those who do right: Never will ye be Dealt with unjustly In the very least!
