Sura 33 Al-Ahzab (Those who took up arms), ayah 19

  1. أَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ الْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَالَّذِي يُغْشَىٰ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ ۖ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُمْ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى الْخَيْرِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَأَحْبَطَ اللَّهُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرًا

    Miserly

    فَإِذَا
    But when
    جَآءَ
    comes
    ٱلْخَوْفُ
    the fear,
    رَأَيْتَهُمْ
    you see them
    يَنظُرُونَ

    إِلَيْكَ
    at you,
    تَدُورُ
    revolving
    أَعْيُنُهُمْ
    their eyes
    كَٱلَّذِى
    like one who
    يُغْشَىٰ
    faints
    عَلَيْهِ
    faints
    مِنَ
    from
    ٱلْمَوْتِ
    [the] death.
    فَإِذَا
    But when
    ذَهَبَ
    departs
    ٱلْخَوْفُ
    the fear,
    سَلَقُوكُم
    they smite you
    بِأَلْسِنَةٍ

    أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ

    يُؤْمِنُوا۟
    they have believed,
    فَأَحْبَطَ
    so Allah made worthless
    ٱللَّهُ
    so Allah made worthless
    أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ
    their deeds.
    وَكَانَ
    And is
    ذَٰلِكَ
    that
    عَلَى
    for
    ٱللَّهِ
    Allah
    يَسِيرًا
    easy.

    Indisposed toward you. And when fear comes, you see them looking at you, their eyes revolving like one being overcome by death. But when fear departs, they lash you with sharp tongues, indisposed toward (any) good. Those have not believed, so Allah has rendered their deeds worthless, and ever is that, for Allah, easy.

    33:19
