In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
11. The Arabs who lagged behind will say to you, "We were engaged in our flocks and herds and our families: ask forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say, "Who then has any power at all on your behalf with Allah, if God's Will is to give you some loss, or to give you some profit?" But Allah is Well-Acquainted with all that you do.
