﴿ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّوا۟ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا۟ مَا يُنفِقُونَ ﴾

“Nor [shall blame attach] to those who, when they came unto thee [O Prophet, with the request] that thou provide them with mounts, were told by thee, "I cannot find anything whereon to mount you" - [whereupon] they turned away, their eyes overflowing with tears out of sorrow that they had no means to spend [on their equipment].”

(Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you) [9:92]. This verse was revealed about the weepers who were seven in number: Ma�qil ibn Yasar, Sakhr ibn Khunays, �Abd Allah ibn Ka�b al-Ansari, �Utbah ibn Zayd al-Ansari, Salim ibn �Umayr, Tha�labah ibn �Anamah and �Abd Allah ibn Mughaffal. These men went to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and said: �O Prophet of Allah, Allah, glorious and majestic is He, has recommended that we go out [to fight for His sake], so carry us with you � even though we wear mended slippers and sewed sandals � so that we fight with you�. He said to them: �I do not have any mounts on which to carry you�, upon which they withdrew crying. Mujahid said: �This verse was revealed about the sons of Muqarrin: Ma�qil, Suwayd and al-Nu�man�.
