آلِ عِمْرَان : ١٦٨

  • ٱلَّذِينَ Those who
  • قَالُواْ said
  • لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ about their brothers
  • وَقَعَدُواْ while they sat
  • لَوۡ If
  • أَطَاعُونَا they (had) obeyed us
  • مَا not
  • قُتِلُواْۗ they would have been killed
  • قُلۡ Say
  • فَٱدۡرَءُواْ Then avert
  • عَنۡ from
  • أَنفُسِكُمُ yourselves
  • ٱلۡمَوۡتَ [the] death
  • إِن if
  • كُنتُمۡ you are
  • صَٰدِقِينَ truthful
Those who said about their brothers while sitting [at home], "If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Say, "Then prevent death from yourselves, if you should be truthful."
Those who (alladheena substitutes for the previous alladheena, or constitutes an adjectival qualification [of it]) said to their brothers, in religion, whilst they themselves, had, stayed put, [refraining] from [joining] the struggle, 'Had they, the martyrs at Uhud or those who stayed put with us, obeyed us, they would not have been slain'. Say, to them: 'Then avert, ward off, death from yourselves, if you speak the truth', in that staying put delivers one from it [sc. from death].
