الَّذينَ يَلمِزونَ المُطَّوِّعينَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ فِي الصَّدَقاتِ وَالَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ إِلّا جُهدَهُم فَيَسخَرونَ مِنهُم ۙ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنهُم وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Those who criticize the believers who willingly give out in charity, and ridicule those who find nothing to give except their own efforts, God will ridicule them, and they will have a painful punishment.

استَغفِر لَهُم أَو لا تَستَغفِر لَهُم إِن تَستَغفِر لَهُم سَبعينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُم ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الفاسِقينَ

Whether you ask forgiveness for them or not, even if you were to ask for it seventy times, God will not forgive them. This is because they denied God and His Messenger. God doesn’t guide the immoral people.

فَرِحَ المُخَلَّفونَ بِمَقعَدِهِم خِلافَ رَسولِ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهوا أَن يُجاهِدوا بِأَموالِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَقالوا لا تَنفِروا فِي الحَرِّ ۗ قُل نارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّا ۚ لَو كانوا يَفقَهونَ

Those who stayed behind rejoiced in staying behind the Messenger of God, and they disliked striving with their wealth and lives in God’s cause. They said, “Don’t venture out in the heat.” Say, “The fire of Hell is hotter still—if only they could understand.”

فَليَضحَكوا قَليلًا وَليَبكوا كَثيرًا جَزاءً بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

So let them laugh a little and cry much as recompense for what they used to earn.

فَإِن رَجَعَكَ اللَّهُ إِلىٰ طائِفَةٍ مِنهُم فَاستَأذَنوكَ لِلخُروجِ فَقُل لَن تَخرُجوا مَعِيَ أَبَدًا وَلَن تُقاتِلوا مَعِيَ عَدُوًّا ۖ إِنَّكُم رَضيتُم بِالقُعودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَاقعُدوا مَعَ الخالِفينَ

If God returns you to a group of them, and they ask for your permission to go out, say, “You will never march with me, nor will you fight an enemy with me. You were content to remain inactive the first time, so stay with those who stay behind.”

وَلا تُعجِبكَ أَموالُهُم وَأَولادُهُم ۚ إِنَّما يُريدُ اللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِها فِي الدُّنيا وَتَزهَقَ أَنفُسُهُم وَهُم كافِرونَ

Let not their wealth and their children impress you. God wants to punish them via them in this life, and their souls pass away while they are unbelievers.

وَإِذا أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ أَن آمِنوا بِاللَّهِ وَجاهِدوا مَعَ رَسولِهِ استَأذَنَكَ أُولُو الطَّولِ مِنهُم وَقالوا ذَرنا نَكُن مَعَ القاعِدينَ

When a chapter is revealed, stating: “Believe in God and strive with His Messenger,” the affluent among them ask for your exemption, saying, “Let us be with those who stay behind.”

رَضوا بِأَن يَكونوا مَعَ الخَوالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم فَهُم لا يَفقَهونَ

They are content to be with those who stay behind; their hearts were sealed, so they don’t understand.

لـٰكِنِ الرَّسولُ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مَعَهُ جاهَدوا بِأَموالِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم ۚ وَأُولـٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الخَيراتُ ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

However, the Messenger and those who believed with him strive with their wealth and their lives. For these will be the good things, and it is they who will be successful.

أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

God has prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That’s the supreme success.
