وَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ إِنْ تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنطَار ٍ يُؤَدِّهِ~ِ إِلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ إِنْ تَأْمَنْهُ بِدِينَار ٍ لاَ يُؤَدِّهِ~ِ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ مَا دُمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِما ً ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِي الأُمِّيِّينَ سَبِيل ٌ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

5:24
قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِنَّا لَنْ نَدْخُلَهَا أَبَدا ً مَا دَامُوا فِيهَا فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلاَ إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ
