At-Tawbah 9:122 ۞ وما كان المومنون لينفروا كافة فلولا نفر من كل فرقة منهم طايفة ليتفقهوا في الدين ولينذروا قومهم اذا رجعوا اليهم لعلهم يحذرون ١٢٢
۞ وَمَا
كَانَ
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
لِيَنفِرُواْ
كَآفَّةٗۚ
فَلَوۡلَا
نَفَرَ
مِن
كُلِّ
فِرۡقَةٖ
مِّنۡهُمۡ
طَآئِفَةٞ
لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ
فِي
ٱلدِّينِ
وَلِيُنذِرُواْ
قَوۡمَهُمۡ
إِذَا
رَجَعُوٓاْ
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
يَحۡذَرُونَ
١٢٢
