Fushshilat · Ayah 22 · Juz 24 · Page 479

وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشۡهَدَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سَمۡعُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَبۡصَٰرُكُمۡ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَعۡلَمُ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٢

Wa mā kuntum tastatirūna ay yashhada ʿalaykum samʿukum wa lā abṣārukum wa lā julūdukum wa lākin ẓanantum annallāha lā yaʿlamu kathīram mimmā taʿmalūn.

And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves,1 lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.

Translation: Sahih International
