Surah At-Tawbah (9:49)

وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ يَّقُوۡلُ ائۡذَنۡ لِّىۡ وَلَا تَفۡتِنِّىۡ ؕ اَلَا فِى الۡفِتۡنَةِ سَقَطُوۡا ؕ وَاِنَّ جَهَـنَّمَ لَمُحِيۡطَةٌ ۢ بِالۡـكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝

Waminhum man yaqoolu i/than lee walataftinnee ala fee alfitnati saqatoo wa-innajahannama lamuheetatun bilkafireen

And among them is he who says, "Permit me to remain at home and do not put me to trial." Unquestionably, into trial they have fallen. And indeed, Hell will encompass the disbelievers.
