﴿۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُونَكَ وَهُمۡ أَغۡنِيَآءُۚ رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلۡخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ﴾
[التوبَة: 93]
﴿إنما السبيل على الذين يستأذنونك وهم أغنياء رضوا بأن يكونوا مع الخوالف﴾ [التوبَة: 93]
| Dr Kamal Omar Certainly it is that the ground (of complaint is) against those who ask your permission (for exemption) although they are well-off. They became satisfied that they may remain with those (ill, weak, invalid and incapacitated) who stay behind. And Allah put a seal over their hearts so they do not know (what they are losing) |
| Dr Laleh Bakhtiar The way of blame is only against those who ask thee permission to remain behind and they are rich. They were well-pleased to be with those who stay behind. And God set a seal on their hearts so that they know not |
| Dr Munir Munshey Actually, the blame is upon those who are able and well off, yet ask your permission to be exempted (from battle). They are happy to be with those who stay behind _ (the women, the old and the sick). Allah has placed a seal on their hearts, but they do not realize |
| Edward Henry Palmer Only is there a way against those who ask thee for leave, to stay at home while they are rich; content to be with those who are left behind; on whose hearts God has set a stamp, so that they should not know |
| Farook Malik The way (blame) is only against those who begged exemption although they are rich. They preferred to be with those who remained behind. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts; so they do not know what they missed |
| George Sale But there is reason to blame those who ask leave of thee to sit at home, when they are rich. They are pleased to be with those who stay behind, and God hath sealed up their hearts; wherefore they do not understand |
| Maududi But there are grounds for reproach against those who seek leave to stay behind even though they are affluent. They are the ones who were content to be with the womenfolk who stay behind. Allah has set a seal on their hearts, leaving them bereft of understanding |
