Al-Ahzab 33:13 واذ قالت طايفة منهم يا اهل يثرب لا مقام لكم فارجعوا ويستاذن فريق منهم النبي يقولون ان بيوتنا عورة وما هي بعورة ان يريدون الا فرارا ١٣
وَإِذۡ
قَالَت
طَّآئِفَةٞ
مِّنۡهُمۡ
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ
يَثۡرِبَ
لَا
مُقَامَ
لَكُمۡ
فَٱرۡجِعُواْۚ
وَيَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُ
فَرِيقٞ
مِّنۡهُمُ
ٱلنَّبِيَّ
يَقُولُونَ
إِنَّ
بُيُوتَنَا
عَوۡرَةٞ
وَمَا
هِيَ
بِعَوۡرَةٍۖ
إِن
يُرِيدُونَ
إِلَّا
فِرَارٗا
