Al-Baqarah 2:214 ام حسبتم ان تدخلوا الجنة ولما ياتكم مثل الذين خلوا من قبلكم مستهم الباساء والضراء وزلزلوا حتى يقول الرسول والذين امنوا معه متى نصر الله الا ان نصر الله قريب ٢١٤
أَمۡ
حَسِبۡتُمۡ
أَن
تَدۡخُلُواْ
ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
وَلَمَّا
يَأۡتِكُم
مَّثَلُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
خَلَوۡاْ
مِن
قَبۡلِكُمۖ
مَّسَّتۡهُمُ
ٱلۡبَأۡسَآءُ
وَٱلضَّرَّآءُ
وَزُلۡزِلُواْ
حَتَّىٰ
يَقُولَ
ٱلرَّسُولُ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
مَعَهُۥ
مَتَىٰ
نَصۡرُ
ٱللَّهِۗ
أَلَآ
إِنَّ
نَصۡرَ
ٱللَّهِ
قَرِيبٞ
