لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًۭا قَرِيبًۭا وَسَفَرًۭا قَاصِدًۭا لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَٰكِنۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشُّقَّةُ ۚ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَوِ ٱسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ يُهْلِكُونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ﴿42﴾
Law kaana 'aradan qareebanw wa safaran qaasidal lattaba'ooka wa laakim ba'udat 'alaihimush shuqqah; wa sayahlifoona billaahi lawis tata'naa lakharajnaa ma'akum; yuhlikoona anfusahum wal laahu ya'lamu innahum lakaa ziboon
9:42. Had it been an easy gain and a moderate trip, the hypocrites would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allah, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allah knows that indeed they are liars.
اگر مالِ غنیمت سہل الحصول اور سفر بھی ہلکا سا ہوتا تو تمہارے ساتھ (شوق سے) چل دیتے۔ لیکن مسافت ان کو دور (دراز) نظر آئی (تو عذر کریں گے) ۔ اور خدا کی قسمیں کھائیں گے کہ اگر ہم طاقت رکھتے تو آپ کے ساتھ ضرور نکل کھڑے ہوتے یہ (ایسے عذروں سے) اپنے تئیں ہلاک کر رہے ہیں۔ اور خدا جانتا ہے کہ جھوٹے ہیں
