وَإِذْ And when قَالَت said طَّآئِفَةٌۭ a party مِّنْهُمْ of them يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People يَثْرِبَ (of) Yathrib لَا No مُقَامَ stand لَكُمْ for you فَٱرْجِعُوا۟ ۚ so return وَيَسْتَـْٔذِنُ And asked permission فَرِيقٌۭ a group مِّنْهُمُ of them ٱلنَّبِىَّ (from) the Prophet يَقُولُونَ saying إِنَّ Indeed بُيُوتَنَا our houses عَوْرَةٌۭ (are) exposed وَمَا and not هِىَ they بِعَوْرَةٍ ۖ (were) exposed إِن Not يُرِيدُونَ they wished إِلَّا but فِرَارًۭا to flee ١٣
And when a faction of them said, "O people of Yathrib, there is no stability for you [here], so return [home]." And a party of them asked permission of the Prophet, saying, "Indeed, our houses are exposed [i.e., unprotected]," while they were not exposed. They did not intend except to flee.
