வசனம்: 167

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُواْۚ وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ قَٰتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوِ ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالٗا لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم مَّا لَيۡسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُونَ

(167) and those who pretend^[743]. It was said to them: “Come and fight in the cause of Allah, or ˹at least˺ push back^[744]”. They said: “Had we any knowledge of a fighting, we would have followed you”^[745]. They were on that day closer to Denial than Belief. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts—Allah knows best what they hide.

[743] al-ladhīna nāfaqū, the hypocrites lurking within the Believing community.
[744] Defend yourselves.
[745] Their lame excuse being that they did not think the Believers would actually engage the Deniers in battle. They claimed that they saw battle as only a remote possibility. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
