لَّمْ وَلَٰكِن وَلَمَّا فِى وَإِن لَا مِّنْ إِنَّ ﴿١٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
