Surah An-Nahl · Ayah 92·Makkī

92

وَلَا كَٱلَّتِى مِنۢ أَن هِىَ مِنْ إِنَّمَا بِهِۦ لَكُمْ مَا فِيهِ ﴿٩٢﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community. Allah only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ.
