9.41 - Go forth light and heavy, and strive with your wealth and yourselves in the way of Allah; that is good for you if you know. 9.42 - Had it been a near gain and a moderate travel, they would have followed you, but distant to them was hardship. And they will swear by Allah: If we had been able, we would have gone forth with you. They destroy themselves, and Allah knows that indeed they are liars. 9.43 - Allah has pardoned you when you permitted them (to remain behind) until it was made evident to you those who spoke the truth and you knew the liars. 9.44 - Those who have believed in Allah and the last day do not ask you for permission to strive with their wealth and themselves. And Allah is Knowing of the pious. 9.45 - Only those who do not believe in Allah and the last day ask you for permission and whose hearts have doubted and in their doubt they hesitate. 9.46 - And if they had wanted to go forth, they would have prepared for it a preparation, but Allah disliked their being sent, so He withheld them, and it was said: Remain with those who remained. 9.47 - Had they gone forth with you, they would not have increased you except in confusion, and they would have been active among you seeking discord. And among you there are listeners to them; and Allah is Knowing of the unjust. 9.48 - They have certainly sought discord before, and they turned matters for you until the truth came and the command of Allah prevailed while they were averse. 9.49 - And among them is one who says: Permit me and do not try me. Unquestionably, into trial they have fallen; and indeed, hell is encompassing the unbelievers. 9.50 - If good strikes you, it grieves them; and if hardship strikes you, they say: We had taken care of our affair before. And they turn away while they are rejoicing.
