In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
14. And if an entry had been effected to them from the sides, and they had been incited to sedition, they would have certainly brought it to pass, with none but a brief delay!
15. And yet they had already covenanted with Allah not to turn their backs, and a covenant with Allah must be answered for.
16. Say, "Running away will not profit you if you are running away from death or slaughter, and even if, no more than a respite will you be allowed to enjoy!"
17. Say, "Who is it that can screen you from Allah if it be God's wish to give you punishment, or to give you mercy?" Nor will they find for themselves, besides Allah, any protector or helper.
18. Verily Allah knows those among you who keep back, and those who say to their brethren, "Come along to us," but come not to the fight except for just a little while.
19. Covetous over you. Then when fear comes, you will see them looking at you, their eyes revolving like one over whom hovers death. But when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp tongues, covetous of goods. Such men have no faith, and so Allah has made their deeds of no effect, and that is easy for Allah.
The Confederates 33:14-19

Running away will not profit you if you are running away from death or slaughter, and even if, no more than a respite will you be allowed to enjoy!
Who is it that can screen you from Allah if it be God's wish to give you punishment, or to give you mercy?
