Ali 'Imran 3:167 وليعلم الذين نافقوا وقيل لهم تعالوا قاتلوا في سبيل الله او ادفعوا قالوا لو نعلم قتالا لاتبعناكم هم للكفر يوميذ اقرب منهم للايمان يقولون بافواههم ما ليس في قلوبهم والله اعلم بما يكتمون ١٦٧

3:167
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
نَافَقُواْۚ
وَقِيلَ
لَهُمۡ
تَعَالَوۡاْ
قَٰتِلُواْ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
أَوِ
ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ
قَالُواْ
لَوۡ
نَعۡلَمُ
قِتَالٗا
لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ
هُمۡ
لِلۡكُفۡرِ
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
أَقۡرَبُ
مِنۡهُمۡ
لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ
يَقُولُونَ
بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم
مَّا
لَيۡسَ
فِي
قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
أَعۡلَمُ
بِمَا
يَكۡتُمُونَ

They said, "If we had known [there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -

Chapter 3, Page 72, Juz 4

165. Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uḥud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves [i.e., due to your sin]." Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent. 166. And what struck you on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] was by permission of Allāh that He might make evident the [true] believers 167. And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allāh or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal - 168. 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." 169. And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, 170. Rejoicing in what Allāh has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them - that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. 171. They receive good tidings of favor from Allāh and bounty and [of the fact] that Allāh does not allow the reward of believers to be lost -
