لَوْ If كَانَ it had been عَرَضًۭا a gain قَرِيبًۭا near وَسَفَرًۭا and a journey قَاصِدًۭا easy لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ surely they (would) have followed you وَلَـٰكِنۢ but بَعُدَتْ was long عَلَيْهِمُ for them ٱلشُّقَّةُ ۚ the distance وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ And they will swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah لَوِ If ٱسْتَطَعْنَا we were able لَخَرَجْنَا certainly we (would) have come forth مَعَكُمْ with you يُهْلِكُونَ They destroy أَنفُسَهُمْ their own selves وَٱللَّهُ and Allah يَعْلَمُ knows إِنَّهُمْ (that) indeed, they لَكَـٰذِبُونَ (are) surely liars ٤٢
Had it been a near [i.e., easy] gain and a moderate trip, they [i.e., the hypocrites] would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allāh, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allāh knows that indeed they are liars.

عَفَا (May) Allah forgive ٱللَّهُ (May) Allah forgive عَنكَ you لِمَ Why (did) أَذِنتَ you grant leave لَهُمْ to them حَتَّىٰ until يَتَبَيَّنَ (became) evident لَكَ to you ٱلَّذِينَ those who صَدَقُوا۟ were truthful وَتَعْلَمَ and you knew ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ the liars ٤٣
Allāh has pardoned you, [O Muḥammad, but] why did you give them permission [to remain behind]? [You should not have] until it was evident to you who were truthful and you knew [who were] the liars.

Those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day would not ask permission of you to be excused from striving [i.e., fighting] with their wealth and their lives. And Allāh is Knowing of those who fear Him.

۞ 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."

لَوْ If خَرَجُوا۟ they (had) gone forth فِيكُم with you مَّا not زَادُوكُمْ they (would) have increased you إِلَّا except خَبَالًۭا (in) confusion وَلَأَوْضَعُوا۟ and would have been active خِلَـٰلَكُمْ in your midst يَبْغُونَكُمُ seeking (for) you ٱلْفِتْنَةَ dissension وَفِيكُمْ And among you (are some) سَمَّـٰعُونَ who would have listened لَهُمْ ۗ to them وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knower بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ of the wrongdoers ٤٧
Had they gone forth with you, they would not have increased you except in confusion, and they would have been active among you, seeking [to cause] you fitnah [i.e., chaos and dissension]. And among you are avid listeners to them. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
