Surah Al-Ahzab Ayah 20

Al-Ahzab · Ayah 20 · Juz 21 · Page 420

يَحۡسَبُونَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابَ لَمۡ يَذۡهَبُواْۖ وَإِن يَأۡتِ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ يَوَدُّواْ لَوۡ أَنَّهُم بَادُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ يَسۡـَٔلُونَ عَنۡ أَنۢبَآئِكُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ فِيكُم مَّا قَٰتَلُوٓاْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٢٠

Yaḥsabūnal-aḥzāba lam yadhhabū, wa iy yaʾtil-aḥzābu yawaddū law annahum bādūna fil-aʿrābi yasʾalūna ʿan anbāʾikum, wa law kānū fīkum mā qātalū illā qalīlā.

They think the companies have not [yet] withdrawn.1 And if the companies should come [again], they would wish they were in the desert among the bedouins, inquiring [from afar] about your news. And if they should be among you, they would not fight except for a little.

Translation: Sahih International
