| 4.72 | There will be someone among you who will surely lag behind, so
that if you face any calamity, he will say: "Allah has been
gracious to me that I did not accompany them." |
| 4.73 | But if you are blessed with grace from Allah, he will say, as if
there was no friendship between you and him: "I wish I had been
with them; I could have attained a mighty good fortune!" |
| 9.81 | Those who remained behind (did not join the Tabuk expedition)
were delighted to sit inactive behind Allah's Rasool, and they
hated to make Jihad with their goods and their persons in the
cause of Allah. They said to each other "Do not go forth in the
heat." Say to them: "The fire of hell is much more severe in
heat." If only they could understand! |
| 9.82 | Let them laugh a little; much will they weep as a recompense for
what they have earned. |
| 9.83 | From now on, if Allah brings you among them and any of them ask
your permission to go forth for Jihad, say: "You shall never be
allowed to go forth with me nor fight an enemy in my company. You
chose to sit inactive on the first occasion, therefore you shall
now stay with those who stay behind." |
| 9.84 | You shall never offer funeral prayer for any of them who dies,
nor shall you attend their burial, for they have denied Allah and
His Rasool and died while they were transgressors. |
| 9.85 | Let neither their wealth nor their children dazzle you. Through
these Allah wants to punish them in this world and let their
souls depart while they are still disbelievers. |
| 9.86 | Whenever a Surah is revealed, saying: " Believe in Allah and make
Jihad along with His Rasool," capable people among them ask you
for exemption, saying: "Please leave us with those who are to
stay at home." |
| 9.87 | They preferred to be with those who remain behind, as a result, a
seal was set upon their hearts so that they do not understand. |
| 9.90 | Some from among the desert Arabs also came with their excuses,
begging exemption to stay behind; thus, those who lied to Allah
and His Rasool sat inactive. Soon a painful punishment shall
seize those of them who disbelieved. |
| 9.93 | The way (blame) is only against those who begged exemption
although they are rich. They preferred to be with those who
remained behind. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts; so they
do not know what they missed. |
| 9.94 | They will apologize to you with all sorts of excuses when you
return to them. Say: "Present no excuses: we shall not believe
you: Allah has already revealed to us the whole truth about you.
Now Allah and His Rasool will keep a watch over your conduct: in
the end you will return to Him who knows what is hidden and what
is open, and He will tell you all that you have been doing." |
| 9.95 | They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them so that
you may leave them alone. So leave them alone: they are filth.
Hell shall be their abode, a punishment for their misdeeds. |
| 9.96 | They will swear to you in order to please you, but even if you be
pleased with them (accept their excuses), Allah will never be
pleased with these transgressors. |
| 9.120 | It is not proper for the people of Madinah and the beduin Arabs
of the neighborhood to forsake the Rasool of Allah or to
jeopardize his life so as to safeguard their own: because they do
not suffer any thirst or hunger or any ordeal for the sake of
Allah, or take any step which may provoke the unbelievers, or
receive any injury from an enemy, but shall be written down as a
good deed to their account; for Allah does not waste the reward
of the righteous. |
| 48.11 | The beduin Arabs who stayed behind will soon say to you: "Our
goods and families kept us occupied, so please ask forgiveness
for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts.
Tell them: "Who can intervene on your behalf with Allah if it be
His will to do you harm or He pleases to do you good? Allah is
well aware of your actions. |
| 48.12 | Rather you thought that the Rasool and the believers would never
return to their families; this fancy seemed pleasing to your
hearts. You conceived evil thoughts and thus incurred damnation." |
| 48.15 | When you set forth to take the spoils of war, those who stayed
behind will say: "Let us come with you." They wish to change
Allah's decree. Tell them plainly: "You shall not come with us.
Allah has already said this before." Then they will say: "Nay!
But you are jealous of us." Whereas there is no question of
jealousy, but little do they understand such things. |
| 48.16 | Tell the beduin Arabs who stayed behind: "You shall soon be
called upon to fight against a mighty people then either you will
fight or they will embrace Islam. Then if you obey, Allah will
grant you a good reward, but if you turn away as you have done
before, He will inflict on you a painful penalty." |
