Translation of Verse 11-17

11. The nomadic Arabs, who stayed behind, will say to you ˹O Prophet˺, "We were preoccupied with our wealth and families, so ask for forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say, "Who then can stand between you and Allah in any way, if He intends harm or benefit for you? In fact, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

12. The truth is: you thought that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their families again. And that was made appealing in your hearts. You harboured evil thoughts ˹about Allah˺, and ˹so˺ became a doomed people."

13. And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Messenger, then We surely have prepared for the disbelievers a blazing Fire.

14. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He forgives whoever He wills, and punishes whoever He wills. And Allah is All- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

15. Those who stayed behind will say, when you ˹believers˺ set out to take the spoils of war, "Let us accompany you." They wish to change Allah's promise. 1050 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "You will not accompany us. This is what Allah has said before." They will then say, "In fact, you are driven by jealousy against us!" 1051 The truth is: they can hardly comprehend.

16. Say to nomadic Arabs, who stayed behind, "You will be called ˹to fight˺ against a people of great might, 1052 who you will fight unless they submit. If you then obey, Allah will grant you a fine reward. But if you turn away as you did before, He will inflict upon you a painful punishment."

17. There is no blame on the blind, or the disabled, or the sick ˹for staying behind˺. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted by Him into Gardens under which rivers flow. But whoever turns away will be subjected by Him to a painful punishment.


Commentary

1050. Those who pledged allegiance at Ḥudaibiyah were promised by Allah that the spoils of war obtained from the Tribe of Khaibar would be exclusively theirs.

1051. Meaning, you only say so to deprive us of our share.

1052. This refers to Hawâzin and Thaqîf, two pagan Arab tribes.
