At-Tawba • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ أَنْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَجَٰهِدُوا۟ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ ٱسْتَـْٔذَنَكَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ ذَرْنَا نَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْقَٰعِدِينَ ﴾
“[They are indeed denying it:] for, when they were called upon through revelation, "Believe in God, and strive hard [in His cause] together with His Apostle," [even] such of them as were well able [to go to war] asked thee for exemption, saying, "Allow us to stay behind with those who remain at home!"”
(And when a surah) from the Qur'an (is revealed (which saith)) as a command: (Believe in Allah) be genuine in your belief in Allah (and strive along with His messenger, the men of wealth among them) among the hypocrites: 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, Jadd Ibn Qays and Mu'attib Ibn Qushayr (still ask leave of you) O Muhammad (and say: Suffer us to be with those who sit (at home)) without any excuse.
