- yasʔalūnaka ʕani l-ʔahillati qul hiya mawāqītu li-n-nāsi wa-lḥajji walaysa l-birru biʔan taʔtū l-buyūta min ẓuhūrihā walākinna l-birra mani ttaqā waʔtū l-buyūta min ʔabwābihā wattaqū llāha laʕallakum tufliḥūna

So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.
