மேலும், அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது ஈமான் கொண்டு, அவனுடைய தூதருடன் சேர்ந்து போர் புரியுங்கள்" என்று ஏதாவது ஓர் அத்தியாயம் இறக்கப்பட்டால், அவர்களில் வசதிபடைத்த செல்வந்தர்கள்; "எங்களை விட்டு விடுங்கள்; நாங்கள் (போருக்கு வராமல்) தங்கியிருப்போருடன் இருந்து கொள்கின்றோம்" என்று உம்மிடம் அனுமதி கோருகின்றனர்.

නුඹලා අල්ලාහ්ව විශ්වාස කරනු, තවද ඔහුගේ දූතයාණන් සමඟ එක්ව අරගල කරනු යැයි එක් පරිච්ඡේදයක් පහළ කරනු ලැබූ විට ඔවුන් අතරින් වූ ධනතුවන් නුඹ අප අත හැර දමනු. අපි රැඳී සිටින්නන් සමඟ සිටින්නෙමු යැයි පවසා නුඹගෙන් අවසර පතති.

جب کوئی سورت اتاری جاتی ہے تو اللہ پر ایمان لاؤ اور اس کے رسول کے ساتھ مل کر جہاد کرو تو ان میں سے دولت مندوں کا ایک طبقہ آپ کے پاس آکر یہ کہہ کر رخصت لے لیتاہے کہ ہمیں تو بیٹھے رہنے والوں میں ہی چھوڑ دیجئے۔
