Quran 13:10 — Ar-Ra'd, verse 10
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
It makes no difference whether any of you speak secretly or aloud, whether you are hiding under cover of night or walking about in the day:
سَوَاءٌ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ أَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَهَرَ بِهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍ بِاللَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌ بِالنَّهَارِ
sawāon minkum man asarra l-qawla waman jahara bihi waman huwa mus'takhfin bi-al-layli wasāribun bil-nahāri
