Verse 83

فَإِن Then if رَّجَعَكَ Allah returns you ٱللَّهُ Allah returns you إِلَىٰ to طَآئِفَةٍۢ a group مِّنْهُمْ of them فَٱسْتَـْٔذَنُوكَ and they ask you permission لِلْخُرُوجِ to go out فَقُل then say لَّن Never تَخْرُجُوا۟ will you come out مَعِىَ with me أَبَدًۭا ever وَلَن and never تُقَـٰتِلُوا۟ will you fight مَعِىَ with me عَدُوًّا ۖ any enemy إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you رَضِيتُم were satisfied بِٱلْقُعُودِ with sitting أَوَّلَ (the) first مَرَّةٍۢ time فَٱقْعُدُوا۟ so sit مَعَ with ٱلْخَـٰلِفِينَ those who stay behind ٨٣

If Allāh should return you to a faction of them [after the expedition] and then they ask your permission to go out [to battle], say, "You will not go out with me, ever, and you will never fight with me an enemy. Indeed, you were satisfied with sitting [at home] the first time, so sit [now] with those who stay behind."
