Surah Al-Isra (17:76)

وَاِنۡ كَادُوۡا لَيَسۡتَفِزُّوۡنَكَ مِنَ الۡاَرۡضِ لِيُخۡرِجُوۡكَ مِنۡهَا وَاِذًا لَّا يَلۡبَـثُوۡنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا‏ ۝

Wa-in kadoo layastafizzoonaka minaal-ardi liyukhrijooka minha wa-ithan layalbathoona khilafaka illa qaleela

And indeed, they were about to provoke i.e., drive you from the land i.e., Makkah to evict you therefrom. And then when they do, they will not remain there after you, except for a little.
