وَمِنَ
النَّاسِ
مَن
يَقُولُ
آمَنَّا
بِاللَّهِ

أُوذِيَ
فِي
اللَّهِ
جَعَلَ
فِتْنَةَ
النَّاسِ
كَعَذَابِ
اللَّهِ
وَلَئِن
جَاءَ
نَصْرٌ
مِّن
رَّبِّكَ
لَيَقُولُنَّ
إِنَّا
كُنَّا
مَعَكُمْ
أَوَلَيْسَ
اللَّهُ

wa-mina n-nāsi man yaqūlu ʾāmannā bi-llāhi fa-ʾidhā ʾūdhiya fī llāhi jaʿala fitnata n-nāsi ka-ʿadhābi llāhi wa-la-ʾin jāʾa naṣrun min rabbika la-yaqūlunna ʾinnā kunnā maʿakum ʾa-wa-laysa llāhu bi-ʾaʿlama bi-mā fī ṣudūri l-ʿālamīna
Among the people there are those who say, ‘We have faith in Allah,’ but if such a one is tormented in Allah’s cause, he takes persecution by the people for Allah’s punishment. Yet if there comes any help from your Lord, they will say, ‘We were indeed with you.’ Does not Allah know best what is in the breasts of the creatures?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Then there are among men such as say, "We believe in Allah"; but when they suffer affliction in (the cause of) Allah, they treat men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes (to thee) from thy Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always) been with you!" Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts of all creation?
