Al-Anfal 8:42 اذ انتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب اسفل منكم ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ولاكن ليقضي الله امرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة وان الله لسميع عليم ٤٢

وَهُم
بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ
ٱلۡقُصۡوَىٰ
وَٱلرَّكۡبُ
أَسۡفَلَ
مِنكُمۡۚ
وَلَوۡ
تَوَاعَدتُّمۡ
لَٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ
فِي
ٱلۡمِيعَٰدِ
وَلَٰكِن
لِّيَقۡضِيَ
ٱللَّهُ
أَمۡرٗا

٤٢
