[مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ ۖ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا [٣٣:٢٣

Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their vow, and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least (33,23)
