Rub El Hizb 80

There are some among them who pledged themselves to God, saying, ‘If God gives us some of His bounty, we shall certainly give alms and be righteous,’

Translation 1260

yet when He did give them some of His bounty, they became mean and turned obstinately away

Translation 1260

Because they broke their promise to God, because of all the lies they told, He made hypocrisy settle in their hearts until the Day they meet Him

Translation 1260

Do they not realize that God knows their secrets and their private discussions? That God knows all that is hidden

Translation 1260

It is they who criticize the believers who give freely and those who can only give a little with great effort: they scoff at such people, but it is God who scoffs at them- a painful punishment awaits them

Translation 1260

It makes no difference [Prophet] whether you ask forgiveness for them or not: God will not forgive them even if you ask seventy times, because they reject God and His Messenger. God does not guide those who rebel against Him

Translation 1260

Those who were left behind were happy to stay behind when God’s Messenger set out; they hated the thought of striving in God’s way with their possessions and their persons. They said to one another, ‘Do not go [to war] in this heat.’ Say, ‘Hellfire is hotter.’ If only they understood

Translation 1260

Let them laugh a little; they will weep a lot in return for what they have done

Translation 1260

So [Prophet], if God brings you back to a group of them, who ask you for permission to go out [to battle], say, ‘You will never go out and fight an enemy with me: you chose to sit at home the first time, so remain with those who stay behind now.’

Translation 1260

Do not hold prayers for any of them if they die, and do not stand by their graves: they disbelieved in God and His Messenger and died rebellious

Translation 1260

Do not let their possessions and their children impress you: God means to punish them through these in this world, and that their souls should depart while they disbelieve

Translation 1260

When a sura is revealed [saying], ‘Believe in God and strive hard alongside His Messenger,’ their wealthy ask your permission [to be exempt], saying, ‘Allow us to stay behind with the others’

Translation 1260

they prefer to be with those who stay behind. Their hearts have been sealed: they do not comprehend

Translation 1260

But the Messenger and those who believe with him strive hard with their possessions and their persons. The best things belong to them; it is they who will prosper

Translation 1260

God has prepared Gardens graced with flowing streams for them and there they will stay. That is the supreme triumph

Translation 1260

Some of the desert Arabs, too, came to make excuses, asking to be granted exemption. Those who lied to God and His Messenger stayed behind at home. A painful punishment will afflict those of them who disbelieved

Translation 1260

but there is no blame attached to the weak, the sick, and those who have no means to spend, provided they are true to God and His Messenger- there is no reason to reproach those who do good: God is most forgiving and merciful

Translation 1260

And there is no blame attached to those who came to you [Prophet] for riding animals and to whom you said, ‘I cannot find a mount for you’: they turned away with their eyes overflowing with tears of grief that they had nothing they could contribute

Translation 1260
