۞ وَمَا كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُوا۟ كَآفَّةً ۚ فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَآئِفَةٌ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا۟ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُوا۟ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ

EnglishSaheeh International
And it is not for the believers to go forth [to battle] all at once. For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn [i.e., advise] their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.

முஃமின்கள் ஒட்டு மொத்தமாக புறப்பட்டுச் செல்லலாகாது. ஆனால் அவர்களில் ஒவ்வொரு வர்க்கத்தாரிலிருந்தும் ஒரு சிறிய கூட்டத்தார் சன்மார்க்க (ஞானத்தைக்) கற்றுக் கொள்வதற்காகவும், (வெறியேறி சென்ற அவர்கள் பின்னே தங்கியவர்களிடம்) திரும்பி வந்தால் அவர்களுக்கு அச்சமூட்டி எச்சரிப்பதற்காகவும் புறப்பட வேண்டாமா? இதைக் கொண்டே அவர்கள் தங்களை(த் தீமையினின்றும்) பாதுகாத்துக் கொள்வார்கள்.

දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කරන්නන් සියල්ලෝ ම එක්ව (යුද්ධය සඳහා) පිටත් වීම ඔවුනට සුදුසු නො වීය. දහම පිළිබඳ අවබෝධය ලබා ඔවුන්ගේ ජනයා වෙත ඔවුන් නැවත පැමිණි විට ඔවුනට අවවාද කරනු පිණිස ඔවුන්ගෙන් සෑම කණ්ඩායමකින් ම පිරිසක් පිටත්ව යා යුතු නො වේ ද! (එය) ඔවුන් ප්‍රවේශම් විය හැකි වනු පිණිස ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور مسلمانوں کو یہ نہ چاہئے کہ سب کے سب نکل کھڑے ہوں سو ایسا کیوں نہ کیا جائے کہ ان کی ہر بڑی جماعت میں سے ایک چھوٹی جماعت جایا کرے تاکہ وه دین کی سمجھ بوجھ حاصل کریں اور تاکہ یہ لوگ اپنی قوم کو جب کہ وه ان کے پاس آئیں، ڈرائیں تاکہ وه ڈر جائیں۔

信者は,全員が一斉に出動すべきではない。各団のうち一部が,出動し,そして残留者は宗教に就いて理解を深め,皆が帰った時かれらに警告を与える。恐らく出動した者は注意するであろう。

信士们不宜全体出征,他们为何不这样做呢?每族中有一部分人出征,以便留守者专攻教义,而在同族者还乡的时候,加以警告,以便他们警惕。

We should first mention that a group of the Salaf said that marching along with the Messenger ﷺ, when he went to battle, was at first obliged on all Muslims, because, as they say, Allah said, انْفِرُواْ خِفَافًا وَثِقَالاً (March forth, whether you are light or heavy) 9:41, and, مَا كَانَ لأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الاٌّعْرَابِ (It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighborhood...) 9:120. However, they said, Allah abrogated this ruling (9:41 and 9:120) when He revealed this Ayah, 9:122.

Those who went with the Messenger ﷺ would gain instructions and studies in the revelation that came down to him, and warn their people about that battle when they returned to them. This way, the group that went with the Prophet will achieve both goals Jihad and learning the revelation from the Prophet .…
