Quran 2:166 — Al-Baqara, verse 166
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
When those who have been followed disown their followers, when they all see the suffering, when all bonds between them are severed,
إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ الَّذِينَ اتُّبِعُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوا وَرَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْأَسْبَابُ
idh tabarra-a alladhīna ittubiʿū mina alladhīna ittabaʿū wara-awū l-ʿadhāba wataqaṭṭaʿat bihimu l-asbābu
