An-Nisa 4:142 ان المنافقين يخادعون الله وهو خادعهم واذا قاموا الى الصلاة قاموا كسالى يراءون الناس ولا يذكرون الله الا قليلا ١٤٢
إِنَّ
ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ
يُخَٰدِعُونَ
ٱللَّهَ
وَهُوَ
خَٰدِعُهُمۡ
وَإِذَا
قَامُوٓاْ
إِلَى
ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ
قَامُواْ
كُسَالَىٰ
يُرَآءُونَ
ٱلنَّاسَ
وَلَا
يَذۡكُرُونَ
ٱللَّهَ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلٗا
١٤٢
