(42) [2103]Had it been a handy ˹worldly˺ gain or a convenient travel, they would have followed you but far away was the ˹gruelling˺ journey for them. They will swear ˹to you˺ by Allah: “Were we able, we would have set out with you!” They destroy themselves![2104] Allah Knows that they are indeed liars.
[2103] Now those whose faith was not sincere, the hypocrites, who lingered behind and did not join the Messenger (ﷺ) and the army of Believers for the Tabuk Expedition, are turned to (cf. al-Rāzī).
[2104] They expose themselves to ruination by incurring God’s Wrath and His punishment (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, al-Saʿdī).
