48:16

قُلْ لِلْمُخَلَّفٖینَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ سَتُدْعَوْنَ اِلٰى قَوْمٍ اُو𐻾لٖی بَاْسٍ شَدٖیدٍ تُقَاتِلُونَهُمْ اَوْ یُسْلِمُونَۚ فَاِنْ تُطٖیعُوا یُؤْتِكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَجْرًا حَسَنًاۚ وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا كَمَا تَوَلَّیْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ یُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلٖیمًا

Qul lilmukhallafeena mina alaAArabi satudAAawna ila qawmin olee basin shadeedin tuqatiloonahum aw yuslimoona fain tuteeAAoo yutikumu Allahu ajran hasanan wain tatawallaw kama tawallaytum min qablu yuAAaththibkum AAathaban aleeman

Translations

Say to those who remained behind of the bedouins, "You will be called to [face] a people of great military might; you may fight them, or they will submit. So if you obey, Allah will give you a good reward; but if you turn away as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment

Saheeh International

Say unto those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind: Ye will be called against a folk of mighty prowess, to fight them until they surrender; and if ye obey, Allah will give you a fair reward; but if ye turn away as ye did turn away before, He will punish you with a painful doom
