Al-Máida 5:82 ۞ لتجدن اشد الناس عداوة للذين امنوا اليهود والذين اشركوا ولتجدن اقربهم مودة للذين امنوا الذين قالوا انا نصارى ذالك بان منهم قسيسين ورهبانا وانهم لا يستكبرون ٨٢
۞ لَتَجِدَنَّ
أَشَدَّ
ٱلنَّاسِ
عَدَٰوَةٗ
لِّلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
ٱلۡيَهُودَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
أَشۡرَكُواْۖ
وَلَتَجِدَنَّ
أَقۡرَبَهُم
مَّوَدَّةٗ
لِّلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
ٱلَّذِينَ
قَالُوٓاْ
إِنَّا
نَصَٰرَىٰۚ
ذَٰلِكَ
بِأَنَّ
مِنۡهُمۡ
قِسِّيسِينَ
وَرُهۡبَانٗا
وَأَنَّهُمۡ
لَا
يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
