they leave. If they leave it, then we will go in.' (Surat al-Ma'ida,
22)
They said, 'We will never enter it, Moses, as long as they are there.
So you and your Lord go and fight. We will stay sitting here.' (Surat
al-Ma'ida, 24)
Those who were left behind were glad to staybehind the Messenger
ofAllah. They did not want to do struggle with theirwealth and
themselves in the Way of Allah. They said, 'Do not go out to fight in
the heat.' Say: 'The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only
understood.' (Surat at-Tawba, 81)
When a sura is sent down saying: 'Believe in Allah and struggle
together with His Messenger,' those amongthem with wealth will ask you
to excuse them, saying, 'Let us remain with those who stay behind.'
They are pleased to be with thosewho stay behind. Their hearts have
been stamped so they do not understand. (Surat at-Tawba, 86-87)
You who believe! what is the matter with you that when you are told,
'Go out and fight in the way of Allah,' you sink down heavily to
theearth? Are you happier with this world than the Hereafter? Yet the
enjoyment of this world is very small compared to that of the
Hereafter. (Surat at-Tawba, 38)
Among you there are people who hang back and if you encounter a
setback then they say, 'Allah has blessed me in that I was not there
withthem.' (Surat an-Nisa', 72)
Do you not see those who were told: 'Hold back from fighting but
establish prayer and pay alms'? Then when fighting is prescribed
forthem, a group of them fear people as Allah should be feared, or
even more than that. They say, 'Our Lord, why have you prescribed
fighting for us? If only You would give us just a little more time!'
Say, 'The enjoyment of this world is very brief. The Hereafter is
better for those who have taqwa. You will not be wrongedby so much as
the smallest speck.' (Surat an-Nisa', 77)
Those who believe say, 'If only a sura could be sent down.' But whena
straightforward sura issent down and fighting is mentioned in it, you
see those with sickness in their hearts looking atyou with the look of
someone about to faint from fear of death... (Surah Muhammad, 20)
There are only grounds against those who ask you for permission to
stay when they are rich. They were pleased to be among those who were
left behind. Allah has sealed up their hearts so they do not know.
(Surat at-Tawba, 93)
If it had been a case of easy gains and a shortjourney, they would
have followed you, but the distance was too great for them. They
willswear by Allah: 'Had we been able to, we would have gone out with
you.' They are destroying their own selves. Allah knows that they are
lying. (Surat at-Tawba, 42)
They have sworn by Allah with their most earnest oaths that if you
give them the command,they will go out. Say: 'Do not swear. Honorable
obedience is enough. Allah is aware of what you do.' (Surat an-Nur,
53)
