وَاِذَا رَاَیْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْؕ وَاِنْ یَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْؕ كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌؕ یَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَیْحَةٍ عَلَیْهِمْؕ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْؕ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُؗ اَنّٰى یُؤْفَكُونَ

Translations

And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded

Saheeh International

And when thou seest them their figures please thee; and if they speak thou givest ear unto their speech. (They are) as though they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah confound them! How they are perverted
