طَا عَ تُنْ وّ وَّ قَوْلٌ
وَ قَوْ لُمّ مَّعْرُوْفٌ ۫
مَعْ رُوْٓ فْ فَاِذَا
فَ اِذَا عَزَمَ
عَ زَ مَلْ الْاَمْرُ ۫
اَمْ رُ فَلَوْ
فَ لَوْ صَدَقُوا
صَ دَ قُلّ اللّٰهَ
لَا هَ لَكَانَ
لَ كَا نَ خَیْرًا
خَىْ رَلّ لَّهُمْ
لَ هُمْ
to obey and speak rightly. Then when fighting was ordained, it surely would have been better for them if they were true to Allah.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Obedience and good words. And when the matter [of fighting] was determined, if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them.
