لَو كانَ عَرَضًا قَريبًا وَسَفَرًا قاصِدًا لَاتَّبَعوكَ وَلـٰكِن بَعُدَت عَلَيهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ ۚ وَسَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَوِ استَطَعنا لَخَرَجنا مَعَكُم يُهلِكونَ أَنفُسَهُم وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ إِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

They would’ve followed you if there had been immediate gain and a short journey, but the distance seemed too great for them. They will swear by God, “If we could, we would’ve gone out with you.” They destroy themselves, and God knows that they are lying.
