اَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ الْخَوْفُ رَاَيْتَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ اَعْيُنُهُمْ كَالَّذ۪ي يُغْشٰى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِۚ فَاِذَا ذَهَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُمْ بِاَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ اَشِحَّةً عَلَى الْخَيْرِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَاَحْبَطَ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْۜ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَس۪يراً

Ashihhatan AAalaykum fa-itha jaaalkhawfu raaytahum yanthuroona ilayka tadooruaAAyunuhum kallathee yughsha AAalayhi minaalmawti fa-itha thahaba alkhawfu salaqookumbi-alsinatin hidadin ashihhatan AAalaalkhayri ola-ika lam yu/minoo faahbata AllahuaAAmalahum wakana thalika AAala Allahiyaseera

Begrudging you. Then when fear comes, thou seest them looking at thee, their eyes rolling like one overshadowed by death. But when the fear departs, they lash you with sharp tongues, begrudging good. Those have not believed, so God has made vain their deeds; and that is easy for God.
