When a Sura comes down, enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive and fight along with His Messenger, those with wealth and influence among them ask thee for exemption, and say: "Leave us (behind): we would be with those who sit (at home)."

Whenever there cometh down a sura, some of them say: "Which of you has had His faith increased by it?" Yea, those who believe,- their faith is increased and they do rejoice.

Whenever there cometh down a Sura, they look at each other, (saying), "Doth anyone see you?" Then they turn aside: Allah hath turned their hearts (from the light); for they are a people that understand not.

And let nothing keep thee back from the Signs of Allah after they have been revealed to thee: and invite (men) to thy Lord, and be not of the company of those who join gods with Allah.

Those who believe say, "Why is not a sura sent down (for us)?" But when a sura of basic or categorical meaning is revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein, thou wilt see those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with a look of one in swoon at the approach of death. But more fitting for them-

如果降示一章经说：“你们要信仰真主，要同使者一道奋斗”，他们中的富裕者就要向你请假，他们说：“你让我们与安坐家中的人在一起吧！”

当降示一章经的时候，他们中有人说：“这章经使你们中的哪个人更加确信呢？”至于信道者，那章经使他们更加确信了。同时，他们是快乐的。

当降示一章经的时候，他们面面相觑（说）：“有人看见你们吗？”然后，他们就溜走了。真主已改变他们的心，因为他们是不理解的民众。

真主的迹象降示你之后，你绝不要任他们妨碍你宣扬那些迹象。你应当召人来归顺你的主，你绝不要做以物配主者。

信道的人们说：“怎么不降示一章经呢？”当一章明确的经文降下，而其中提及战争的时候，你会看到心中有病的人们将象临死时昏晕的人那样瞪着眼看你。伤哉他们！
