Kānū Lā Yatanāhawna `An Munkarin Fa`alūhu Labi'sa Mā Kānū Yaf`alūna. (al-Māʾidah 5:79)
A. S. F. Bubenheim and N. Elyas:
Sie pflegten einander nichts Verwerfliches, das sie taten, zu verbieten. Fürwahr, wie schlimm ist, was sie zu tun pflegten! ([5] al-Maida (Der Tisch) : 79)
English Sahih:
They used not to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did. How wretched was that which they were doing. ([5] Al-Ma'idah : 79)
