Sura 33 Al-Ahzab (Those who took up arms), ayah 13

  1. وَإِذْ قَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوا ۚ وَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ ۖ إِنْ يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

    وَإِذْ
    And when
    قَالَت
    said
    طَّآئِفَةٌ
    a party
    مِّنْهُمْ
    of them,
    يَٰٓأَهْلَ
    "O People
    يَثْرِبَ
    (of) Yathrib!
    لَا
    No
    مُقَامَ
    stand
    لَكُمْ
    for you,
    فَٱرْجِعُوا۟
    so return."
    وَيَسْتَـْٔذِنُ
    And asked permission
    فَرِيقٌ
    a group
    مِّنْهُمُ
    of them
    ٱلنَّبِىَّ
    (from) the Prophet,
    يَقُولُونَ
    saying,
    إِنَّ
    "Indeed,
    بُيُوتَنَا
    our houses
    عَوْرَةٌ
    (are) exposed,"
    وَمَا
    and not
    هِىَ
    they
    بِعَوْرَةٍ
    (were) exposed.
    إِن
    Not
    يُرِيدُونَ
    they wished
    إِلَّا
    but
    فِرَارًا
    to flee.

    And when a faction of them said, "O people of Yathrib, there is no stability for you (here), so return (home)." And a party of them asked permission of the Prophet, saying, "Indeed, our houses are unprotected," while they were not exposed. They did not intend except to flee.
