Had their city been sacked from all sides and they had been asked to abandon faith, they would have done so with little hesitation.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And if they had been entered upon from all its [surrounding] regions and fitnah [i.e., disbelief] had been demanded of them, they would have done it and not hesitated over it except briefly.
— Saheeh International
