O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are
told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth?
Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter?
But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except
a [very] little.
If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and
will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all.
And Allah is over all things competent.
If you do not aid the Prophet - Allah has already aided him when those who
disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were
in the cave and he said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allah is
with us." And Allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him
with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the
lowest, while the word of Allah - that is the highest. And Allah is
Exalted in Might and Wise.
Had it been an easy gain and a moderate trip, the hypocrites would have
followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by
Allah, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying
themselves [through false oaths], and Allah knows that indeed they are
liars.
