وَإِن
يُرِيدُوا
خِيَانَتَكَ
فَقَدْ
خَانُوا
اللَّهَ
مِن
قَبْلُ
فَأَمْكَنَ
مِنْهُمْ
وَاللَّهُ
عَلِيمٌ
حَكِيمٌ
wa-ʾin yurīdū khiyānataka fa-qad khānū llāha min qablu fa-ʾamkana minhum wa-llāhu ʿalīmun ḥakīmun
But if they seek to betray you, then they have already betrayed Allah earlier, and He gave [you] power over them; and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
— Ali Quli Qarai
But if they have treacherous designs against thee, (O Messenger!), they have already been in treason against Allah, and so hath He given (thee) power over them. And Allah so He Who hath (full) knowledge and wisdom.
