Sura 58
Aya 8
8
أَلَم تَرَ إِلَى الَّذينَ نُهوا عَنِ النَّجوىٰ ثُمَّ يَعودونَ لِما نُهوا عَنهُ وَيَتَناجَونَ بِالإِثمِ وَالعُدوانِ وَمَعصِيَتِ الرَّسولِ وَإِذا جاءوكَ حَيَّوكَ بِما لَم يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَيَقولونَ في أَنفُسِهِم لَولا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِما نَقولُ ۚ حَسبُهُم جَهَنَّمُ يَصلَونَها ۖ فَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Have you not seen those who, though forbidden to intrigue in secret, defiantly plot together in wickedness and enmity and in disobedience to the Apostle? When they come to you, they invite you in words which God does not greet you with, and ask themselves: ‘Why does God not punish us for what we say?’ Hell is scourge enough for them: they shall burn in its flames, a wretched fate!
