Without diacritics

واذا جاءهم امر من الامن او الخوف اذاعوا به ولو ردوه الى الرسول والى اولي الامر منهم لعلمه الذين يستنبطونه منهم ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته لاتبعتم الشيطان الا قليلا

When there comes to them Some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, They divulge it. If they had only referred it To the Apostle, or to those Charged with authority Among them, the proper Investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace And Mercy of God unto you, All but a few of you Would have fallen Into the clutches of Satan.
