some of the desert arabs too came to make excuses asking to be granted exemption. those who lied to god and his messenger stayed behind at home. those who denied the truth among them will be afflicted with a painful chastisement but no blame shall attach to the weak the sick and those who have no means to spend provided they are sincere to god and his messenger. there is no reason to reproach those who do good deeds god is most forgiving and merciful.
وجاء المعذرون من الأعراب ليؤذن لهم وقعد الذين كذبوا الله ورسوله سيصيب الذين كفروا منهم عذاب أليم ليس على الضعفاء ولا على المرضى ولا على الذين لا يجدون ما ينفقون حرج إذا نصحوا لله ورسوله ما على المحسنين من سبيل والله غفور رحيم
