تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَضَاجِعِ يَدۡعُونَ رَبَّهُمۡ خَوۡفࣰا وَطَمَعࣰا وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ١٦
Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of that We have bestowed on them.

Meaning
Their sides part from their beds; they call upon their Lord in fear and hope.
