وَجاءَ المُعَذِّرونَ مِنَ الأَعرابِ لِيُؤذَنَ لَهُم وَقَعَدَ الَّذينَ كَذَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ سَيُصيبُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِنهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

And those with excuses among the bedouins came to be permitted [to remain], and they who had lied to Allah and His Messenger sat [at home]. There will strike those who disbelieved among them a painful punishment.

لَيسَ عَلَى الضُّعَفاءِ وَلا عَلَى المَرضىٰ وَلا عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ ما يُنفِقونَ حَرَجٌ إِذا نَصَحوا لِلَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۚ ما عَلَى المُحسِنينَ مِن سَبيلٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

There is not upon the weak or upon the ill or upon those who do not find anything to spend any discomfort when they are sincere to Allah and His Messenger. There is not upon the doers of good any cause [for blame]. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَلا عَلَى الَّذينَ إِذا ما أَتَوكَ لِتَحمِلَهُم قُلتَ لا أَجِدُ ما أَحمِلُكُم عَلَيهِ تَوَلَّوا وَأَعيُنُهُم تَفيضُ مِنَ الدَّمعِ حَزَنًا أَلّا يَجِدوا ما يُنفِقونَ

Nor [is there blame] upon those who, when they came to you that you might give them mounts, you said, "I can find nothing for you to ride upon." They turned back while their eyes overflowed with tears out of grief that they could not find something to spend [for the cause of Allah].

إِنَّمَا السَّبيلُ عَلَى الَّذينَ يَستَأذِنونَكَ وَهُم أَغنِياءُ ۚ رَضوا بِأَن يَكونوا مَعَ الخَوالِفِ وَطَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم فَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

The cause [for blame] is only upon those who ask permission of you while they are rich. They are satisfied to be with those who stay behind, and Allah has sealed over their hearts, so they do not know.

يَعتَذِرونَ إِلَيكُم إِذا رَجَعتُم إِلَيهِم ۚ قُل لا تَعتَذِروا لَن نُؤمِنَ لَكُم قَد نَبَّأَنَا اللَّهُ مِن أَخبارِكُم ۚ وَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُم وَرَسولُهُ ثُمَّ تُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عالِمِ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

They will make excuses to you when you have returned to them. Say, "Make no excuse - never will we believe you. Allah has already informed us of your news. And Allah will observe your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger; then you will be taken back to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do."

يَحلِفونَ لَكُم لِتَرضَوا عَنهُم ۖ فَإِن تَرضَوا عَنهُم فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَرضىٰ عَنِ القَومِ الفاسِقينَ

They swear to you so that you might be satisfied with them. But if you should be satisfied with them - indeed, Allah is not satisfied with a defiantly disobedient people.

الأَعرابُ أَشَدُّ كُفرًا وَنِفاقًا وَأَجدَرُ أَلّا يَعلَموا حُدودَ ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ رَسولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

The bedouins are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what [laws] Allah has revealed to His Messenger. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

وَمِنَ الأَعرابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ ما يُنفِقُ مَغرَمًا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوائِرَ ۚ عَلَيهِم دائِرَةُ السَّوءِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

And among the bedouins are some who consider what they spend as a loss and await for you turns of misfortune. Upon them will be a misfortune of evil. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

وَمِنَ الأَعرابِ مَن يُؤمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ ما يُنفِقُ قُرُباتٍ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَصَلَواتِ الرَّسولِ ۚ أَلا إِنَّها قُربَةٌ لَهُم ۚ سَيُدخِلُهُمُ اللَّهُ في رَحمَتِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

But among the bedouins are some who believe in Allah and the Last Day and consider what they spend as means of nearness to Allah and of [obtaining] invocations of the Messenger. Unquestionably, it is a means of nearness for them. Allah will admit them to His mercy. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَالسّابِقونَ الأَوَّلونَ مِنَ المُهاجِرينَ وَالأَنصارِ وَالَّذينَ اتَّبَعوهُم بِإِحسانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم وَرَضوا عَنهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري تَحتَهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.
