Surah Al-Baqara · Ayah 214·Madanī

214

أَمْ أَن وَلَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن حَتَّىٰ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ مَتَىٰ أَلَآ إِنَّ ﴿٢١٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.
