سَيَقُولُ لَكَ ٱلْمُخَلَّفُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ شَغَلَتْنَآ أَمْوَٰلُنَا وَأَهْلُونَا فَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِم مَّا لَيْسَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ فَمَن يَمْلِكُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا إِنْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ ضَرًّا أَوْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ نَفْعًۢا ۚ بَلْ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًۢا

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

Ceux des Bédouins qui ont été laissés en arrière te diront: «Nos biens et nos familles nous ont retenus: implore donc pour nous le pardon». Ils disent avec leurs langues ce qui n'est pas dans leurs cœurs. Dis: «Qui donc peut quelque chose pour vous auprès d'Allah s'Il veut vous faire du mal ou s'Il veut vous faire du bien? Mais Allah est Parfaitement Connaisseur de ce que vous œuvrez.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

Those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind will tell thee: Our possessions and our households occupied us, so ask forgiveness for us! They speak with their tongues that which is not in their hearts. Say: Who can avail you aught against Allah, if He intend you hurt or intend you profit? Nay, but Allah is ever Aware of what ye do.
