Sura Al-Ahzab from 16 to 22


16. Say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) to these hypocrites who ask your permission to run away from you ) : « Flight will not avail you if you flee from death or killing and then you will enjoy no more than a little while! »
17. Say: « Who is he who can protect you from Allâh if He intends to harm you, or intends mercy on you? » And they will not find, besides Allâh, for themselves any Walî ( protector, supporter ) or any helper.
18. Allâh already knows those among you who keep back ( men ) from fighting in Allâh’s Cause, and those who say to their brethren « Come here towards us, » while they ( themselves ) come not to the battle except a little,
19. Being miserly towards you ( as regards help and aid in Allâh’s Cause ) . Then when fear comes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes revolving like ( those of ) one over whom hovers death; but when the fear departs, they will smite you with sharp tongues, miserly towards ( spending anything in any ) good ( and only covetous of booty and wealth ) . Such have not believed. Therefore Allâh makes their deeds fruitless and that is ever easy for Allâh.
20. They think that Al- Ahzâb ( the Confederates ) have not yet withdrawn; and if Al- Ahzâb ( the Confederates ) should come ( again ) , they would wish they were in the deserts ( wandering ) among the bedouins, seeking news about you ( from a far place ) ; and if they ( happen ) to be among you, they would not fight but little.
21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for ( the Meeting with ) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much.
22. And when the believers saw Al- Ahzâb ( the Confederates ) , they said: « This is what Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) had promised us; and Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) had spoken the truth. And it only added to their Faith and to their submissiveness ( to Allâh ) .»
