يقولون لئن رجعنا الى المدينة ليخرجن الاعز منها الاذل ولله العزة ولرسوله وللمؤمنين ولكن المنافقين لا يعلمون

They say, "If we Return to Medina, surely The more honourable (element) Will expel therefrom the meaner". But honour belongs to God And His Apostle, and To the Believers; but The Hypocrites know not.
