ከአዕራብ ሰዎች እነዚያ ( ከዘመቻ ) ወደ ኋላ የቀሩት ለአንተ « ገንዘቦቻችንና ቤተሰቦቻችን አስቸገሩን ፤ ስለዚህ ምሕረትን ለምንልን ፤ » ይሉሃል ፡ ፡ በልቦቻቸው ውስጥ የሌለውን ነገር በምላሶቻቸው ይናገራሉ ፡ ፡ ( አላህ ) « በእናንተ ላይ ጉዳትን ቢሻ ወይም በእናንተ መጥቀምን ቢሻ ከአላህ ( ለማገድ ) ለእናንተ አንዳችን የሚችል ማነው ? በእውነቱ አላህ ፤ በምትሠሰሩት ሁሉ ውስጥ ዐዋቂ ነው » በላቸው ፡ ፡
The ignorant ones who had stayed behind will now say to you , “ Our wealth and our families prevented us from going by keeping us pre-occupied , therefore seek forgiveness for us ” ; they utter with their tongues what is not in their hearts ; say , “ So does anyone have any control over you against Allah , if He wills to harm you or provide you benefit ? In fact Allah is Aware of what you do . ”
