Dan datanglah pula orang-orang yang menyatakan uzurnya dari orang-orang "A'raab", memohon supaya mereka diizinkan (tidak turut berperang), sedang orang-orang (munafik di antara mereka) yang mendustakan Allah dan RasulNya, duduk (mendiamkan diri). (Oleh itu) orang-orang yang kafir di antara mereka, akan dikenakan azab seksa yang tidak terperi sakitnya.
Penjelasan
Both readings contain the possibility that these people had genuine excuses, though the second (active participle of form IV) is more indicative of that. They can also be interpreted to mean they were making false excuses, and the first (from form II or VIII) is more indicative of that; in that case, the subsequent phrase 'those who lied' refers to the same people [al-Alusi].
