Mobilize in light gear or heavy gear, and strive with your money and lives in the cause of God. That is best if only you knew.

If it were a near gain, or an easy journey, they would have followed you; but the distance was too much for them. And they will swear by God: "If we could have, we would have gone with you." They destroy themselves, and God knows they are liars.

God pardons you; why did you give them leave before it became clear to you who are truthful, and who are lying?

Those who believe in God and the Last Day will not ask leave. They strive with their money and their lives. And God is aware of the righteous.

Those who ask leave are the ones who do not believe in God and the Last Day, and their hearts are in doubt. In their doubts they are wavering.
