يَقُولُونَ
لَئِن
رَّجَعْنَا
إِلَى
الْمَدِينَةِ
لَيُخْرِجَنَّ
الْأَعَزُّ
مِنْهَا
الْأَذَلَّ
وَلِلَّهِ
الْعِزَّةُ
وَلِرَسُولِهِ
وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
وَلَكِنَّ
الْمُنَافِقِينَ
لَا
يَعْلَمُونَ

They say, ‘When we return to the city, the mighty will surely expel the weak from it.’ Yet all might belongs to Allah and His Apostle and the faithful, but the hypocrites do not know.
— Ali Quli Qarai
They say, "If we return to Medina, surely the more honourable (element) will expel therefrom the meaner." But honour belongs to Allah and His Messenger, and to the Believers; but the Hypocrites know not.
