English Translation of Al-Quran
[09] Surah At-Taubah [The Repentance]
Ayat 46. And if they had intended to march out, certainly, they would have made some preparation for it, but Allah was averse to their being sent forth, so He made them lag behind, and it was said (to them), "Sit you among those who sit (at home)."
Tafseer of Surah Surah At-Taubah Ayat 46. If they had intended to come out, they would certainly have made some preparation therefor; but Allah was averse to their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind, and they were told, "Sit ye among those who sit (inactive)." Exposing Hypocrites Allah said, And if they had intended to march out,
with you to participate in Jihad, certainly, they would have made some preparation for it, they would have prepared for such task, but Allah was averse to their being sent forth, Allah hated that they should go with you, so He made them lag behind, and stay away (from Jihad), and it was said (to them): "Sit you among those who sit (at home).''
as a part of what was decreed for them (not that He legislated that they stay behind). Allah then explained why He disliked that they march with the believers, saying, Had they marched out with you, they would have added to you nothing except disorder, because they are cowards and failures, and they would have hurried about in your midst sowing sedition among you, They would have rushed to spread false stories, hatred and discord among you, and there are some among you who would have listened to them.
who would have obeyed them, given preference to their speech and words and asked them for advice, unaware of the true reality of these hypocrites. This might have caused corruption and great evil between the believers. Muhammad bin Ishaq said, "Those who sought permission (from the Messenger to lag behind) included some of the chiefs, such as Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul and Al-Jadd bin Qays, who were masters of their people. Allah also made them lag behind because He knew that if they went along with the Messenger they would sow sedition in his army.'' There were some in the Prophet's army who liked these chiefs and were ready to obey them, because they considered them honourable, (and there are some among you who would have listened to them).
