۞ وَلَوْ And if walaw they had wished arādū (to) go forth l-khurūja surely they (would) have prepared la-aʿaddū for it lahu (some) preparation ʿuddatan But walākin Allah disliked kariha Allah disliked l-lahu their being sent inbiʿāthahum so He made them lag behind fathabbaṭahum and it was said waqīla Sit uq'ʿudū with maʿa those who sit l-qāʿidīna
And if they had intended to go forth, they would have prepared for it [some] preparation. But Allāh disliked their being sent, so He kept them back, and they were told, "Remain [behind] with those who remain."
لَوْ If law they (had) gone forth kharajū with you fīkum not mā they (would) have increased you zādūkum except illā (in) confusion khabālan and would have been active wala-awḍaʿū in your midst khilālakum seeking (for) you yabghūnakumu dissension l-fit'nata And among you (are some) wafīkum who would have listened sammāʿūna to them lahum And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Knower ʿalīmun of the wrongdoers bil-ẓālimīna
Had they gone forth with you, they would not have increased you except in confusion, and they would have been active among you, seeking [to cause] you fitnah [i.e., chaos and dissension]. And among you are avid listeners to them. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
