وَإِذْ
يَمْكُرُ
بِكَ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
لِيُثْبِتُوكَ
أَوْ
يَقْتُلُوكَ
أَوْ
يُخْرِجُوكَ
وَيَمْكُرُونَ
وَيَمْكُرُ
اللَّهُ
وَاللَّهُ
خَيْرُ
الْمَاكِرِينَ

Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah.
— Abdullah Yusufali
When the faithless plotted against you to take you captive, or to kill or expel you—they plotted and Allah devised, and Allah is the best of devisers.
