(9:86) And when a surah was revealed [enjoining them] to believe in Allah and to fight with His Messenger, those of wealth among them asked your permission [to stay back] and said, "Leave us to be with them who sit [at home]." (9:87) They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind, and their hearts were sealed over, so they do not understand. (9:88) But the Messenger and those who believed with him fought with their wealth and their lives. Those will have [all that is] good, and it is those who are the successful. (9:89) Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally. That is the great attainment. (9:90) And those with excuses among the bedouins came to be permitted [to remain], and they who had lied to Allah and His Messenger sat [at home]. There will strike those who disbelieved among them a painful punishment.
