Sura 37
Aya 28
28
قالوا إِنَّكُم كُنتُم تَأتونَنا عَنِ اليَمينِ

Muhammad Asad

Some [of them] will say: "Behold, you were wont to approach us [deceptively] from the right!"1
  • I.e., "claiming that what you were asking us to do was right and good". The idiomatic phrase approaching one from the right" is more or less synonympus with "pretending to give a morally good advice", as well as "approaching another person from a position of power and influence" (Zamakhshari).
