ٱسْتَغْفِرْ Ask forgiveness لَهُمْ for them أَوْ or لَا (do) not تَسْتَغْفِرْ ask forgiveness لَهُمْ for them إِن If تَسْتَغْفِرْ you ask forgiveness لَهُمْ for them سَبْعِينَ seventy مَرَّةًۭ times فَلَن never يَغْفِرَ will Allah forgive ٱللَّهُ will Allah forgive لَهُمْ ۚ [for] them ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۗ and His Messenger وَٱللَّهُ and Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ the defiantly disobedient ٨٠

Ask forgiveness for them, [O Muḥammad], or do not ask forgiveness for them. If you should ask forgiveness for them seventy times - never will Allāh forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allāh and His Messenger, and Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

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.

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."

وَلَا And not تُصَلِّ you pray عَلَىٰٓ for أَحَدٍۢ any مِّنْهُم of them مَّاتَ who dies أَبَدًۭا ever وَلَا and not تَقُمْ you stand عَلَىٰ by قَبْرِهِۦٓ ۖ his grave إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرَسُولِهِۦ and His Messenger وَمَاتُوا۟ and died وَهُمْ while they were فَـٰسِقُونَ defiantly disobedient ٨٤

And do not pray [the funeral prayer, O Muḥammad], over any of them who has died - ever - or stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allāh and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient.

وَلَا And (let) not تُعْجِبْكَ impress you أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ their wealth وَأَوْلَـٰدُهُمْ ۚ and their children إِنَّمَا Only يُرِيدُ Allah intends ٱللَّهُ Allah intends أَن to يُعَذِّبَهُم punish them بِهَا with it فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا the world وَتَزْهَقَ and will depart أَنفُسُهُمْ their souls وَهُمْ while they كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ٨٥

And let not their wealth and their children impress you. Allāh only intends to punish them through them in this world and that their souls should depart [at death] while they are disbelievers.

And when a sūrah was revealed [enjoining them] to believe in Allāh and to fight with His Messenger, those of wealth among them asked your permission [to stay back] and said, "Leave us to be with them who sit [at home]."
