At-Tawbah 9:42 لو كان عرضا قريبا وسفرا قاصدا لاتبعوك ولاكن بعدت عليهم الشقة وسيحلفون بالله لو استطعنا لخرجنا معكم يهلكون انفسهم والله يعلم انهم لكاذبون ٤٢
لَوْ
كَانَ
عَرَضًا
قَرِیْبًا
وَّسَفَرًا
قَاصِدًا
لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ
وَلٰكِنْ
بَعُدَتْ
عَلَیْهِمُ
الشُّقَّةُ ؕ
وَسَیَحْلِفُوْنَ
بِاللّٰهِ
لَوِ
اسْتَطَعْنَا
لَخَرَجْنَا
مَعَكُمْ ۚ
یُهْلِكُوْنَ
اَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ
وَاللّٰهُ
یَعْلَمُ
اِنَّهُمْ
لَكٰذِبُوْنَ

[9:42] Were it a gain at hand or a short journey, they would have surely followed you, but the distance seemed too far to them. Still they will swear by Allah: "If only we could, we would surely have gone forth with you." They merely bring ruin upon themselves. Allah knows well that they are liars.
