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.
