Ali 'Imran 3:156 يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تكونوا كالذين كفروا وقالوا لاخوانهم اذا ضربوا في الارض او كانوا غزى لو كانوا عندنا ما ماتوا وما قتلوا ليجعل الله ذالك حسرة في قلوبهم والله يحيي ويميت والله بما تعملون بصير ١٥٦
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
لَا
تَكُونُواْ
كَٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ
وَقَالُواْ
لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ
إِذَا
ضَرَبُواْ
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
أَوۡ
كَانُواْ
غُزّٗى
لَّوۡ
كَانُواْ
عِندَنَا
مَا
مَاتُواْ
وَمَا
قُتِلُواْ
لِيَجۡعَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
ذَٰلِكَ
حَسۡرَةٗ
فِي
قُلُوبِهِمۡۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
يُحۡيِۦ
وَيُمِيتُۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
بِمَا
تَعۡمَلُونَ
بَصِيرٞ
