Al-Ahzab 19

اَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ الْخَوْفُ رَاَيْتَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ اَعْيُنُهُمْ كَالَّذ۪ي يُغْشٰى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِۚ فَاِذَا ذَهَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُمْ بِاَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ اَشِحَّةً عَلَى الْخَيْرِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَاَحْبَطَ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْۜ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَس۪يرًا ۝١٩

English Translation

19This is out of envy toward you. They are miserly and will not share with you in the costs of war. When fear of the enemy grips them, you see them looking at you with eyes full of fear, like one over whom the swoon of death has come; but when the battle is over and the fear of death has passed, they lash out at you with their sharp tongues, greedy for a share of the spoils, and say hurtful things. These people have not truly believed, and Allah has brought all their deeds to nothing. In any case, what they do has no weight with Allah. And this is very easy for Allah.
