۞ وَلَوْ And if أَرَادُوا۟ they had wished ٱلْخُرُوجَ (to) go forth لَأَعَدُّوا۟ surely they (would) have prepared لَهُۥ for it عُدَّةًۭ (some) preparation وَلَـٰكِن But كَرِهَ Allah disliked ٱللَّهُ Allah disliked ٱنۢبِعَاثَهُمْ their being sent فَثَبَّطَهُمْ so He made them lag behind وَقِيلَ and it was said ٱقْعُدُوا۟ Sit مَعَ with ٱلْقَـٰعِدِينَ those who sit ٤٦
And if they had intended to go forth, they would have prepared for it [some] preparation. But Allāh disliked their being sent, so He kept them back, and they were told, "Remain [behind] with those who remain."
