بَلْ
ظَنَنتُمْ
أَن
لَّن
يَنقَلِبَ
الرَّسُولُ
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ
إِلَى
أَهْلِيهِمْ
أَبَدًا
وَزُيِّنَ
ذَلِكَ
فِي
قُلُوبِكُمْ
وَظَنَنتُمْ
ظَنَّ
السَّوْءِ
وَكُنتُمْ
قَوْمًا
بُورًا

"Nay, ye thought that the Messenger and the Believers would never return to their families; this seemed pleasing in your hearts, and ye conceived an evil thought, for ye are a people lost (in wickedness)."
— Abdullah Yusufali
Rather, you thought that the Apostle and the faithful will not ever return to their folks, and that was made to seem decorous to your hearts; you entertained evil thoughts, and you were a ruined lot.
