فَرِحَ الُْمخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَـفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَکَرِهُوا أَن یُجَـهِدُوا بِأَمْوَلِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ فِى سَبِیلِ اللهِ وَقَالُوا لاَ تَنفِرُوا فِى الْحَرِّ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرّاً لَوْ کَانُوا یَفْقَهُونَ (81)

81- THOSE WHO STAYED AT HOME, REJOICED IN TARRYING BEHIND THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH. (THIS WAS IN TABUK EXPEDITION) AND DISLIKED TO STRIVE WITH THEIR WEALTH AND THEIR PERSON IN THE WAY OF ALLAH.

AND THEY SAID: `DO NOT GO FORTH IN THE HEAT. (OF SUMMER)' SAY: `THE FIRE OF HELL IS HOTTER, IF THEY COULD APPREHEND.

فَلْیَضْحَکُوا قَلِیلا وَلْیَبْکُوا کَثِیراً جَزَآءً بِمَا کَانُوا یَکْسِبُونَ (82)

82- SO THEY MUST LAUGH LITTLE AND WEEP MUCH; AS A RECOMPENSE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN EARNING.

فَإِنْ رَّجَعَکَ اللهُ إِلَى طَائِفَة مِّنْهُمْ فَاسْتَئْذَنُوکَ لِلْخُروجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخْرُجُوا مَعِىَ أَبَداً وَلَن تَقَـتِلُوا مَعِىَ عَدُوَّاً إِنَّکُمْ رَضِیتُم بِالْعُقُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّة فَاقْعُدُوا مَعَ الْخَـلِفینَ (83)

83- THEN IF ALLAH RETURNS YOU TO A PARTY OF THEM, AND THEY ASK PERMISSION TO MARCH ON WITH YOU; TELL (THEM) `YOU SHALL NEVER GO FORTH WITH ME, AND NEVER FIGHT AN ENEMY WITH ME. YOU WERE PLEASED TO SIT DOWN THE FIRST TIME, THEN SIT YOU DOWN WITH THE INFRINGERS.
