Translation of Verse 62-64

62. The ˹true˺ believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and when they are with him on a public matter, they do not leave without his permission. Indeed, those who ask your permission ˹O Prophet˺ are the ones who ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and His Messenger. So when they ask your permission for a private matter, grant permission to whoever you wish and ask Allah's forgiveness for them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

63. Do not treat the Messenger's summons to you ˹as lightly˺ as your summons to one another. ⁷²² Allah certainly knows those of you who slip away, hiding behind others. ⁷²³ So let those who disobey his orders beware, for an affliction may befall them, or a painful torment may overtake them.

64. Surely to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. He knows well what you stand for. And ˹on˺ the Day all will be returned to Him, He will inform them of what they did. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Commentary

722. There is also a different interpretation: "Do not call the Messenger ˹by his name˺ as you call one another." In other words, Do not say, 'O Muḥammad.' Rather, say, 'O Prophet.'

723. Some hypocrites used to sneak out while the Prophet ( ﷺ ) was talking.
