وَّعَلَى الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذِيۡنَ خُلِّفُوۡاؕ حَتّٰۤى اِذَا ضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡاَرۡضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتۡ وَضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ اَنۡفُسُهُمۡ وَظَنُّوۡۤا اَنۡ لَّا مَلۡجَاَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّاۤ اِلَيۡهِؕ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لِيَتُوۡبُوۡاؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيۡمُ ١١٨
9:118And to the three also (did He turn in mercy) who were left behind, when the earth, vast as it is, become straitened for them, and their own souls were straitened for them till they bethought them that there is no refuge from Allah save toward Him. Then turned He unto them in mercy that they (too) might turn (repentant unto Him). Lo! Allah! He is the Relenting, the Merciful.
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَكُوۡنُوۡا مَعَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ ١١٩
9:119O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful.
مَا كَانَ لِاَهۡلِ الۡمَدِيۡنَةِ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَعۡرَابِ اَنۡ يَّتَخَلَّفُوۡا عَنۡ رَّسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَرۡغَبُوۡا بِاَنۡفُسِهِمۡ عَنۡ نَّـفۡسِهٖؕ ذٰ لِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ لَا يُصِيۡبُهُمۡ ظَمَاٌ وَّلَا نَصَبٌ وَّلَا مَخۡمَصَةٌ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَطَـُٔــوۡنَ مَوۡطِئًا يَّغِيۡظُ الۡكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُوۡنَ مِنۡ عَدُوٍّ نَّيۡلاً اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمۡ بِهٖ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيۡعُ اَجۡرَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَۙ ١٢٠
9:120It is not for the townsfolk of Al-Madinah and for those around them of the wandering Arabs to stay behind the messenger of Allah and prefer their lives to his life. That is because neither thirst nor toil nor hunger afflicteth them in the way of Allah, nor step they any step that angereth the disbelievers, nor gain they from the enemy a gain, but a good deed is recorded for them therefor. Lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good.
وَلَا يُنۡفِقُوۡنَ نَفَقَةً صَغِيۡرَةً وَّلَا كَبِيۡرَةً وَّلَا يَقۡطَعُوۡنَ وَادِيًا اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمۡ لِيَجۡزِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحۡسَنَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ١٢١
9:121Nor spend they any spending, small or great, nor do they cross a valley, but it is recorded for them, that Allah may repay them the best of what they used to do.
وَمَا كَانَ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ لِيَنۡفِرُوۡا كَآفَّةً ؕ فَلَوۡلَا نَفَرَ مِنۡ كُلِّ فِرۡقَةٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ طَآٮِٕفَةٌ لِّيَـتَفَقَّهُوۡا فِى الدِّيۡنِ وَلِيُنۡذِرُوۡا قَوۡمَهُمۡ اِذَا رَجَعُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَحۡذَرُوۡنَ ١٢٢
9:122And the believers should not all go out to fight. Of every troop of them, a party only should go forth, that they (who are left behind) may gain sound knowledge in religion, and that they may warn their folk when they return to them, so that they may beware.
