Whether you (O Muhammad SAW) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites)
or ask not forgiveness for them … (and even) if you ask seventy times for their
forgiveness … Allâh will not forgive them, because they have disbelieved in
Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW). And Allâh guides not those people who
are Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). (80) Those who stayed away
(from Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their staying behind the Messenger of
Allâh; they hated to strive and fight with their properties and their lives in
the Cause of Allâh, and they said: "March not forth in the heat."
Say: "The Fire of Hell is more intense in heat", if only they could
understand! (81) So let them laugh a little and (they will) cry much as a
recompense of what they used to earn (by committing sins). (82) If Allâh brings you
back to a party of them (the hypocrites), and they ask your permission to go
out (to fight), say: "Never shall you go out with me, nor fight an enemy
with me; you were pleased to sit (inactive) on the first occasion, then you sit
(now) with those who lag behind." (83) And never (O Muhammad SAW) pray
(funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.
Certainly they disbelieved in Allâh and His Messenger, and died while they were
Fâsiqûn (rebellious, - disobedient to Allâh and His Messenger SAW). (84) And let not their
wealth or their children amaze you. Allâh's Plan is to punish
them with these things in this world, and that their souls shall depart (die)
while they are disbelievers. (85) And when a Sûrah (chapter from the Qur'ân) is
revealed, enjoining them to believe in Allâh and to strive hard and fight along
with His Messenger, the wealthy among them ask your leave to exempt them (from
Jihâd) and say, "Leave us (behind), we would be with those who sit (at
home)." (86)
