وما كان المؤمنون لينفروا كافة فلولا نفر من كل فرقة منهم طائفة ليتفقهوا في الدين ولينذروا قومهم اذا رجعوا اليهم لعلهم يحذرون

Nor should the Believers All go forth together: If a contingent From every expedition Remained behind, They could devote themselves To studies in religion, And admonish the people When they return to them,— That thus they (may learn) To guard themselves (against evil)
