ٱلَّذِينَ

قَالُواْ

لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ

وَقَعَدُواْ

لَوۡ

أَطَاعُونَا

مَا

قُتِلُواْۗ

قُلۡ

فَٱدۡرَءُواْ

عَنۡ

أَنفُسِكُمُ

ٱلۡمَوۡتَ

إِن

كُنتُمۡ

صَٰدِقِينَ

١٦٨

These are the ones who stayed away, saying about their brothers: 'Had they followed us, they would not have been slain.' Say: 'If you speak the truth then avert death when it comes to you.'
