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

Nor on those who, when they came to you asking to be transported, and you said, “I have nothing to transport you on,” they turned away, their eyes overflowing with tears out of sadness that they couldn’t find the means to spend.

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

The blame lies only with those who ask your permission while they are wealthy. They prefer to remain with those who stay behind, and God has sealed their hearts, leaving them devoid of understanding.

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 return to them. Say, “Don’t make excuses; we won’t believe you. God has informed us of your intentions. God and His Messenger will observe your actions, and you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, who will inform you of everything you did.”

سَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُم إِذَا انقَلَبتُم إِلَيهِم لِتُعرِضوا عَنهُم ۖ فَأَعرِضوا عَنهُم ۖ إِنَّهُم رِجسٌ ۖ وَمَأواهُم جَهَنَّمُ جَزاءً بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

Upon your return to them, they will swear by God, hoping you will accept their excuses. Distance yourself from them, for they are impure, and their dwelling is Hell—a just compensation for their actions.

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

They swear to you to gain your approval, but even if you approve of them, God doesn’t approve of the sinful people.

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

Among the Desert Arabs, some consider what they spend as a loss, and they await misfortunes to befall you. Yet, they will be afflicted by misfortunes. God is All-Hearing, All-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

However, among the Desert Arabs are those who believe in God and the Last Day, and regard their contributions as a means to draw closer to God, and the prayers of the Messenger. Indeed, it will bring them nearer, and God will admit them into His mercy. God is Forgiving, Most 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

The pioneers—the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers—and those who followed them in goodness: God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. He prepared for them Gardens through which rivers flow, where they will dwell forever. This is the supreme achievement.

وَمِمَّن حَولَكُم مِنَ الأَعرابِ مُنافِقونَ ۖ وَمِن أَهلِ المَدينَةِ ۖ مَرَدوا عَلَى النِّفاقِ لا تَعلَمُهُم ۖ نَحنُ نَعلَمُهُم ۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَرَّتَينِ ثُمَّ يُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عَذابٍ عَظيمٍ

Among the Desert Arabs around you, some are hypocrites, as well as among the city dwellers. They are persistent in hypocrisy. You don’t know them, but We certainly do. We will punish them twice; then they will be returned to a severe punishment.

وَآخَرونَ اعتَرَفوا بِذُنوبِهِم خَلَطوا عَمَلًا صالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَتوبَ عَلَيهِم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

And there are those who admit their sins, and they have mixed a righteous deed with another that was bad. Perhaps God will relent towards them. God is Forgiving and Merciful.
