The Holy Quran 59:12 — Surah Al-Hashr

Arabic text

لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا۟ لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَلَئِن قُوتِلُوا۟ لَا يَنصُرُونَهُمْ وَلَئِن نَّصَرُوهُمْ لَيُوَلُّنَّ ٱلْأَدْبَـٰرَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ

Translation

If they (the Jews) are exiled, they (the Munaafiqeen) will not leave (Madinah) with them and if they (the Jews) are engaged in battle (against the Muslims), they (the Munaafiqeen) will not assist them (as they promised). Even if they (the Munaafiqeen) have to (are forced to) assist them, they will (very soon) surely turn their backs (and flee from the battlefield as they always do) after which they (the Jews) will not have any assistance (any where).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
