Verse 81

فَرِحَ Rejoice ٱلْمُخَلَّفُونَ those who remained behind بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ in their staying خِلَـٰفَ behind رَسُولِ (the) Messenger ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَكَرِهُوٓا۟ and they disliked أَن to يُجَـٰهِدُوا۟ strive بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ with their wealth وَأَنفُسِهِمْ and their lives فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَقَالُوا۟ and they said لَا (Do) not تَنفِرُوا۟ go forth فِى in ٱلْحَرِّ ۗ the heat قُلْ Say نَارُ (The) Fire جَهَنَّمَ (of) Hell أَشَدُّ (is) more intense حَرًّۭا ۚ (in) heat لَّوْ If (only) كَانُوا۟ they could يَفْقَهُونَ understand ٨١

Those who remained behind rejoiced in their staying [at home] after [the departure of] the Messenger of Allāh and disliked to strive with their wealth and their lives in the cause of Allāh and said, "Do not go forth in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is more intense in heat" - if they would but understand.
