Al-Ahzab 20

يَحْسَبُونَ الْاَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُواۚ وَاِنْ يَاْتِ الْاَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوا لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ بَادُونَ فِي الْاَعْرَابِ يَسْـَٔلُونَ عَنْ اَنْبَٓائِكُمْۜ وَلَوْ كَانُوا ف۪يكُمْ مَا قَاتَلُٓوا اِلَّا قَل۪يلًا۟ ۝٢٠

20These two-faced people think that the enemy forces have not gone away. Should the enemy forces attack again, they would wish they were among the Bedouin in the desert, receiving news of you from far away. In any case, even if they were among you, they would not fight properly.
