58:8

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذٖینَ نُهُوا عَنِ النَّجْوٰى ثُمَّ یَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَیَتَنَاجَوْنَ بِالْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِیَتِ الرَّسُولِؗ وَاِذَا جَٓاؤُ𐻿كَ حَیَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ یُحَیِّكَ بِهِ اللّٰهُۙ وَیَقُولُونَ فٖٓی اَنْفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا یُعَذِّبُنَا اللّٰهُ بِمَا نَقُولُؕ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۚ یَصْلَوْنَهَاۚ فَبِئْسَ الْمَصٖیرُ

Translations

Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation, then they return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allah does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination

Saheeh International

Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end
