"When thou lookest at them, their exteriors please thee; and when they speak, thou listenest to their words. They are as [worthless as hollow] pieces of timber propped up, [unable to stand on their own]. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them! How are they deluded [away from the Truth]!"— Yusuf Ali translation
