An-Nisa 4:66 ولو انا كتبنا عليهم ان اقتلوا انفسكم او اخرجوا من دياركم ما فعلوه الا قليل منهم ولو انهم فعلوا ما يوعظون به لكان خيرا لهم واشد تثبيتا ٦٦
وَلَوۡ
أَنَّا
كَتَبۡنَا
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
أَنِ
ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ
أَنفُسَكُمۡ
أَوِ
ٱخۡرُجُواْ
مِن
دِيَٰرِكُم
مَّا
فَعَلُوهُ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلٞ
مِّنۡهُمۡۖ
وَلَوۡ
أَنَّهُمۡ
فَعَلُواْ
مَا
يُوعَظُونَ
بِهِۦ
لَكَانَ
خَيۡرٗا
لَّهُمۡ
وَأَشَدَّ
تَثۡبِيتٗا
