﴿ وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُوا۟ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ لَءَاتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُوا۟ بِهَآ إِلَّا يَسِيرًۭا ﴾

“Now if their town had been stormed, and they had been asked [by the enemy] to commit apos­tasy, [the hypocrites] would have done so without much delay”

(If the enemy had entered) in on the hypocrites in Medina (from all sides and they had been exhorted to treachery) to idolatry, (they would have committed it) they would have swiftly committed it, (and would have hesitated thereupon but little) they would not have hesitated to respond; it is also said that this means: they would have remained in Medina but a little while.
