Verse (16:92)

The analysis above refers to the 92nd verse of chapter 16 (sūrat l-naḥl):

Sahih International: And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community. Allah only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ.
