But the Messenger and those who believe in him strive in the cause of ALLAH with their wealth and their persons, and it is they who shall have good things, and it is they who shall prosper. 89. ALLAH has prepared for them Gardens under which streams flow; therein shall they abide. That is the supreme triumph. 90. And those, who make excuses from among the desert Arabs, came with the request that exemption might be granted them. And those who lied to ALLAH and HIS Messenger stayed at home. A grievous punishment shall befall those of them who disbelieve. 91. No blame lies on the weak, nor on the sick, nor on those who find naught to spend, if they are sincere to ALLAH and HIS Messenger. There is no cause of reproach against those who do good deeds; and ALLAH is Most Forging, Merciful, 92. Nor against those to whom, when they came to thee that thou shouldst furnish them with mounts thou didst say, `I cannot find whereon I can mount you;' they turned back, their eyes overflowing with tears, out of grief that they could not find what they might spend. 93. The cause of reproach is only against those who ask leave of thee, while they are rich. They are content to be with the womenfolk who remain behind at home. And ALLAH has set a seal upon their hearts so that they know not. |
