PART 11

[9:87]

They are content that they should be with the useless and their hearts are sealed, so that they apprehend not.

[9:88]

But the messenger and those who believe with him strive with their wealth and their lives. Such are they for whom are the good things. Such are they who are the success

[9:89]

Allah hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. That is the supreme triumph.

[9:90]

And those among the wandering Arabs who had an excuse came in order that permission might be granted them. And those who lied to Allah and His messenger sat at home. A painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.

[9:91]

Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His messenger. Not unto the good is there any road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[9:92]

Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you. They turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.

[9:93]

The road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with the useless. Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.
