wa-ʾidhā raʾaytahum tuʿjibuka ʾajsāmuhum wa-ʾin yaqūlū tasmaʿ li-qawlihim ka-ʾannahum khushubun musannadatun yaḥsabūna kulla ṣayḥatin ʿalayhim humu l-ʿaduwwu fa-ḥdharhum qātalahumu llāhu ʾannā yuʾfakūna

When you see them, their bodies impress you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. Yet they are like dry logs set reclining [against a wall]. They suppose every cry is directed against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah assail them, where do they stray?!
