Translation

Their purpose was to scare thee off the land, in order to expel thee; but in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after thee, except for a little while.

(Ey Muhammed!) Yakında seni yurdundan çıkarmak için, muhakkak ki rahatsız edecekler ve o takdirde onlar da senin ardından pek az kalacaklardır.

Onlar, seni o yerden (yurdundan) çıkarmak için neredeyse dünyayı başına dar edecekler. O takdirde senin ardından kendileri de (Mekke’de) fazla kalamayacaklar.
