Those who were left behind were glad that they were left behind by the Messenger of Allah, for they disliked to struggle in the Way of Allah with their wealth and their persons. They said: 'Do not go forth in the heat' Say: 'The Fire of Gehenna is more hot' Would that they understood!
تخلّف‌جویان (از جنگ تبوک،) از مخالفت با رسول خدا خوشحال شدند؛ و کراهت داشتند که با اموال و جانهای خود، در راه خدا جهاد کنند؛ و (به یکدیگر و به مؤمنان) گفتند: «در این گرما، (بسوی میدان) حرکت نکنید!» (به آنان) بگو: «آتش دوزخ از این هم گرمتر است!» اگر می‌دانستند!
