Aya 77
77
أَلَم تَرَ إِلَى الَّذينَ قيلَ لَهُم كُفّوا أَيدِيَكُم وَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ فَلَمّا كُتِبَ عَلَيهِمُ القِتالُ إِذا فَريقٌ مِنهُم يَخشَونَ النّاسَ كَخَشيَةِ اللَّهِ أَو أَشَدَّ خَشيَةً ۚ وَقالوا رَبَّنا لِمَ كَتَبتَ عَلَينَا القِتالَ لَولا أَخَّرتَنا إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ قَريبٍ ۗ قُل مَتاعُ الدُّنيا قَليلٌ وَالآخِرَةُ خَيرٌ لِمَنِ اتَّقىٰ وَلا تُظلَمونَ فَتيلًا

Mir Aneesuddin

Did you not consider those to whom it was said, “With hold your hands and establish worship (salat) and give charity (zakat)? “But when fighting was prescribed for them, a party of them feared human beings as they ought to have feared Allah or with a stronger fear, and said, “Our Fosterer ! why did you prescribe fighting on us, why did you not postpone it for us till a nearby term? “Say, “The provision of this world is little and the hereafter is better for one who guards (against evil) and you will not be dealt with unjustly even to the extent of the hair on a date stone.”
