Ayah: 13

وَإِذۡ قَالَت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ يَثۡرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمۡ فَٱرۡجِعُواْۚ وَيَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلنَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوۡرَةٞ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوۡرَةٍۖ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارٗا

13. When a party of them said: "O people of Yathrib 'Madinah', there is no place for you to stay here 'near the trench', so go back." A party of them sought permission from the Prophet, saying: "Our houses are exposed 'to the enemy'," and they were not exposed. They only wanted to flee.
