Translation of the meanings Ayah: (43) Surah: At-Tawbah
عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَتَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ
(43) [2105]May Allah forgive you ˹Muhammad˺, why did you grant them permission ˹to stay behind˺! ˹You should have not˺ Until it became clear to you those who are truthful and you know the liars[2106].
[2105] The hypocrites came to the Messenger (ﷺ) with all sorts of excuses, swearing that they were not able to join the campaign and he pardoned them; an action the propriety of which is gently pointed out to him by God (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[2106] That is those who have valid excuses and those who do not (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Baghawī, al-Shawkānī). The hypocrites were intent on not joining the campaign in any case, whether given permission to stay or not. So it is pointed out here that none should have been given permission, so as to see who set out with the Believing army, the truthful, and who did not, the liars who were smitten with doubt (cf. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Abū Ḥayyān, Ibn Kathīr, al-Qāsimī, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
