Tafsir of At-Tawbah 9:42

Surah At-Tawbah 9:42

ﱒ ﱓ ﱔ ﱕ ﱖ ﱗ ﱘ ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ ﱜ ﱝ ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ

Had it been an easy gain and a moderate trip, the hypocrites would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allah, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allah knows that indeed they are liars.

Ma'ariful Quran

Verse range: 9:42

Open in Qurani

The fifth verse (42) mentions an excuse offered by those who did not participate in the Jihad because of negligence and lethargy. It was re¬jected as unacceptable because they did not use the ability given by Al¬lah to pick and choose the right thing to do in His way. Therefore, the excuse of not having that ability is not valid.
