If a chapter is sent down: "That you shall acknowledge God and strive with His messenger," those with wealth and influence ask your permission and they say, "Let us be with those who remain behind."

They were content to stay with those who remained behind, and it was stamped on their hearts, for they do not reason.

But the messenger and those who acknowledge with him have strived with their money and their lives. For them will be the good things, and they are the successful ones.

God has prepared for them gardens with rivers flowing beneath, in them they shall abide. Such is the great gain.

Those who made excuses from among the Arabs came to get permission. Thus, those who denied God and His messenger stayed behind. Those who rejected from them will be inflicted with a painful retribution.
