9:118

وَعَلَى And on ٱلثَّلَـٰثَةِ the three ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who خُلِّفُوا۟ were left behind حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when ضَاقَتْ (was) straitened عَلَيْهِمُ for them ٱلْأَرْضُ the earth بِمَا though رَحُبَتْ it was vast وَضَاقَتْ And (was) straitened عَلَيْهِمْ for them أَنفُسُهُمْ their own souls وَظَنُّوٓا۟ and they were certain أَن that لَّا (there is) no مَلْجَأَ refuge مِنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah إِلَّآ except إِلَيْهِ to Him ثُمَّ Then تَابَ He turned (in mercy) عَلَيْهِمْ to them لِيَتُوبُوٓا۟ ۚ that they may repent إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah هُوَ He ٱلتَّوَّابُ (is) the Acceptor of repentance ٱلرَّحِيمُ the Most Merciful ١١٨

And [He also forgave] the three who were left alone [i.e., boycotted, regretting their error] to the point that the earth closed in on them in spite of its vastness and their souls confined [i.e., anguished] them and they were certain that there is no refuge from Allāh except in Him. Then He turned to them so they could repent. Indeed, Allāh is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوا۟ O you who believe ٱتَّقُوا۟ Fear ٱللَّهَ Allah وَكُونُوا۟ and be مَعَ with ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ those who are truthful ١١٩

O you who have believed, fear Allāh and be with those who are true.

9:120

مَا Not كَانَ it was لِأَهْلِ (for) the people ٱلْمَدِينَةِ of the Madinah وَمَنْ and who حَوْلَهُم were around them مِّنَ of ٱلْأَعْرَابِ the bedouins أَن that يَتَخَلَّفُوا۟ they remain behind عَن after رَّسُولِ the Messenger ٱللَّهِ of Allah وَلَا and not يَرْغَبُوا۟ they prefer بِأَنفُسِهِمْ their lives عَن to نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ his life ذَٰلِكَ That is بِأَنَّهُمْ because [they] لَا (does) not يُصِيبُهُمْ afflict them ظَمَأٌۭ thirst وَلَا and not نَصَبٌۭ fatigue وَلَا and not مَخْمَصَةٌۭ hunger فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَلَا and not يَطَـُٔونَ they step مَوْطِئًۭا any step يَغِيظُ that angers ٱلْكُفَّارَ the disbelievers وَلَا and not يَنَالُونَ they inflict مِنْ on عَدُوٍّۢ an enemy نَّيْلًا an infliction إِلَّا except كُتِبَ is recorded لَهُم for them بِهِۦ in it عَمَلٌۭ (as) a deed صَـٰلِحٌ ۚ righteous إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُضِيعُ allow to be lost أَجْرَ the reward ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ (of) the good-doers ١٢٠

It was not [proper] for the people of Madīnah and those surrounding them of the bedouins that they remain behind after [the departure of] the Messenger of Allāh or that they prefer themselves over his self. That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allāh, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that it is registered for them as a righteous deed. Indeed, Allāh does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of good.

وَلَا And not يُنفِقُونَ they spend نَفَقَةًۭ any spending صَغِيرَةًۭ small وَلَا and not كَبِيرَةًۭ big وَلَا and not يَقْطَعُونَ they cross وَادِيًا a valley إِلَّا but كُتِبَ is recorded لَهُمْ for them لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ that Allah may reward them ٱللَّهُ that Allah may reward them أَحْسَنَ the best مَا (of) what كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَعْمَلُونَ do ١٢١

Nor do they spend an expenditure, small or large, or cross a valley but that it is registered for them that Allāh may reward them for the best of what they were doing.

9:122

۞ وَمَا And not كَانَ is ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ (for) the believers لِيَنفِرُوا۟ that they go forth كَآفَّةًۭ ۚ all together فَلَوْلَا So if not نَفَرَ go forth مِن from كُلِّ every فِرْقَةٍۢ group مِّنْهُمْ among them طَآئِفَةٌۭ a party لِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا۟ that they may obtain understanding فِى in ٱلدِّينِ the religion وَلِيُنذِرُوا۟ and that they may warn قَوْمَهُمْ their people إِذَا when رَجَعُوٓا۟ they return إِلَيْهِمْ to them لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَحْذَرُونَ beware ١٢٢

And it is not for the believers to go forth [to battle] all at once. For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn [i.e., advise] their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.
