Al-Hujurat 49:14 ۞ قالت الاعراب امنا قل لم تومنوا ولاكن قولوا اسلمنا ولما يدخل الايمان في قلوبكم وان تطيعوا الله ورسوله لا يلتكم من اعمالكم شييا ان الله غفور رحيم ١٤
۞ قَالَتِ
ٱلۡأَعۡرَابُ
ءَامَنَّاۖ
قُل
لَّمۡ
تُؤۡمِنُواْ
وَلَٰكِن
قُولُوٓاْ
أَسۡلَمۡنَا
وَلَمَّا
يَدۡخُلِ
ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ
فِي
قُلُوبِكُمۡۖ
وَإِن
تُطِيعُواْ
ٱللَّهَ
وَرَسُولَهُۥ
لَا
يَلِتۡكُم
مِّنۡ
أَعۡمَٰلِكُمۡ
شَيۡـًٔاۚ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
غَفُورٞ
رَّحِيمٌ

The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allāh and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds1 of anything. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."

The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only) say, 'We have submitted our wills to Allah,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
— A. Yusuf Ali
