وَيَقُولُ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لَوْلَا
نُزِّلَتْ
سُورَةٌ
فَإِذَا
أُنزِلَتْ
سُورَةٌ
مُّحْكَمَةٌ
وَذُكِرَ
فِيهَا
الْقِتَالُ
رَأَيْتَ
الَّذِينَ
فِي
قُلُوبِهِم
مَّرَضٌ
يَنظُرُونَ
إِلَيْكَ
نَظَرَ
الْمَغْشِيِّ
عَلَيْهِ
مِنَ
الْمَوْتِ
فَأَوْلَى
لَهُمْ
wa-yaqūlu lladhīna ʾāmanū law-lā nuzzilat sūratun fa-ʾidhā ʾunzilat sūratun muḥkamatun wa-dhukira fīhā l-qitālu raʾayta lladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun yanẓurūna ʾilayka naẓara l-maghshiyyi ʿalayhi mina l-mawti fa-ʾawlā lahum
Those who believe say, "Why is not a sura sent down (for us)?" But when a sura of basic or categorical meaning is revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein, thou wilt see those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with a look of one in swoon at the approach of death. But more fitting for them-
— Abdullah Yusufali
The faithful say, ‘If only a surah were sent down!’ But when a conclusive surah is sent down and war is mentioned in it, you see those in whose hearts is a sickness looking upon you with the look of someone fainting at death. So woe to them!
