حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَاۤ أَتَوۡا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمۡلِ قَالَتۡ نَمۡلَةࣱ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّمۡلُ ٱدۡخُلُوا۟ مَسَـٰكِنَكُمۡ لَا یَحۡطِمَنَّكُمۡ سُلَیۡمَـٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ ١٨
Umm Muhammad (Sahih International):
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."
هَـٰۤأَنتُمۡ أُو۟لَاۤءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمۡ وَلَا یُحِبُّونَكُمۡ وَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ كُلِّهِۦ وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمۡ قَالُوۤا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡا۟ عَضُّوا۟ عَلَیۡكُمُ ٱلۡأَنَامِلَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَیۡظِۚ قُلۡ مُوتُوا۟ بِغَیۡظِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِیمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ١١٩
Umm Muhammad (Sahih International):
Here you are loving them but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture - all of it. And when they meet you, they say, "We believe." But when they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you in rage. Say, "Die in your rage. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts."
