English Translation of Al-Quran
[09] Surah At-Taubah [The Repentance]
Ayat 42. Had it been a near gain (booty in front of them) and an easy journey, they would have followed you (O Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH)., but the distance (Tabuk expedition) was long for them, and they would swear by Allah, "If we only could, we would certainly have come forth with you(O Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH)" They destroy their ownselves, and Allah knows that they are liars.
Tafseer of Surah Surah At-Taubah Ayat 42. If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah, "If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you": They would destroy their own souls; for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying. The arts and excuses of the Hypocrites are here exposed. If there had been booty in sight or an easy walk-over, they would have come. All their oaths are false, and in taking the false oaths they are destroying their spiritual life. Indeed the backsliders are jeopardizing their own physical lives in hanging back. If the enemy succeeded, they would all suffer.
