Had it been an easy gain and a moderate trip, the hypocrites would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allah, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allah knows that indeed they are liars.
اگر مالى در دسترس و سفرى [آسان و] كوتاه بود، قطعاً از پى تو مى‌آمدند، ولى آن راهِ پر مشقت بر آنان دور مى‌نمايد، و به زودى به خدا سوگند خواهند خورد كه اگر مى‌توانستيم حتماً با شما بيرون مى‌آمديم، [با سوگند دروغ‌]، خود را به هلاكت مى‌كشانند و خدا مى‌داند كه آنان سخت دروغگويند.
