Do not hold the Apostle's calling (you) among you to be like your calling one to the other; Allah indeed knows those who steal away from among you, concealing themselves; therefore let those beware who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befall them a painful chastisement.
Arabic
لا تجعلوا دعاء الرسول بينكم كدعاء بعضكم بعضا ۚ قد يعلم الله الذين يتسللون منكم لواذا ۚ فليحذر الذين يخالفون عن أمره أن تصيبهم فتنة أو يصيبهم عذاب أليم

Now surely Allah's is whatever is in the heavens and the earth; He knows indeed that to which you are conforming yourselves; and on the day on which they are returned to Him He will inform them of what they did; and Allah is Cognizant of all things.
Arabic
ألا إن لله ما في السماوات والأرض ۖ قد يعلم ما أنتم عليه ويوم يرجعون إليه فينبئهم بما عملوا ۗ والله بكل شيء عليم
