Y: Didst thou not Turn by vision to those who abandoned their homes,
though they were thousands (In number), for fear of death? Allah said
to them: "Die": Then He restored them to life. For Allah is full of
bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.
P: Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old, who went forth from their
habitations in their thousands, fearing death, and Allah said unto
them: Die; and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord

S: And fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Hearing,
Knowing.
