Verse 83

وَإِذْ And when أَخَذْنَا We took مِيثَـٰقَ (the) covenant بَنِىٓ (from the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel لَا Not تَعْبُدُونَ you will worship إِلَّا except ٱللَّهَ Allah وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ and with [the] parents إِحْسَانًۭا (be) good وَذِى and (with) ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ relatives وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ and [the] orphans وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ and the needy وَقُولُوا۟ and speak لِلنَّاسِ to [the] people حُسْنًۭا good وَأَقِيمُوا۟ and establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer وَءَاتُوا۟ and give ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ the zakah ثُمَّ Then تَوَلَّيْتُمْ you turned away إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا a few مِّنكُمْ of you وَأَنتُم and you (were) مُّعْرِضُونَ refusing ٨٣

And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except Allāh; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give zakāh." Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing.
