Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger of Allah: they hated to strive and fight, with their goods and their persons, in the cause of Allah: they said, "Go not forth in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand!

It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;-

Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.

Those that lower their voices in the presence of Allah's Messenger,- their hearts has Allah tested for piety: for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.

They are the ones who say, "Spend nothing on those who are with Allah's Messenger, to the end that they may disperse (and quit Medina)." But to Allah belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the Hypocrites understand not.

使者出征后，在后方的人因能安坐家中而高兴。他们不愿以自己的财产和生命为主道而奋斗，他们互相嘱咐说：“你们不要在热天出征。”你说：“火狱的火是更炽热的，假若他们是明理的。”

麦地那人和他们四周的游牧的阿拉伯人，不该逗留在后方，而不随使者出征；不该只顾自己的安逸，而不与使者共患难。因为凡他们为真主而遭遇的饥渴和劳顿，他们触怒不信道者的每一步伐，或每次对敌人有所获，每有一件就必为他们记一功，真主一定不使行善者徒劳无酬。

希望真主和末日，并且多多记念真主者，你们有使者可以作你们的优良模范。

在使者的面前低声说话的人们，真主确已为敬畏而试验他们的心，他们将蒙赦宥和重大的报酬。

他们说：“你们不要供给使者左右的人，以便他们离散。”天地的库藏，只是真主，伪信的人们却不明理。
