وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَد ٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدا ً وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ~ِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِه ِِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ
Wa Lā Tuşalli `Alá 'Aĥadin Minhum Māta 'Abadāan Wa Lā Taqum `Alá Qabrihi 'Innahum Kafarū Billāhi Wa Rasūlihi Wa Mātū Wa Hum Fāsiqūna

Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Lā Tatawallaw Qawmāan GhaĐiba Allāhu `Alayhim Qad Ya'isū Mina Al-'Ākhirati Kamā Ya'isa Al-Kuffāru Min 'Aşĥābi Al-Qubūri
