فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلاَفَ رَسُولِ اللّهِ وَكَرِهُواْ أَن يُجَاهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَقَالُواْ لاَ تَنفِرُواْ فِي الْحَرِّ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّا لَّوْ كَانُوا يَفْقَهُونَ

Fariha almukhallafoona bimaqAAadihim khilafa rasooli Allahi wakarihoo an yujahidoo biamwalihim waanfusihim fee sabeeli Allahi waqaloo la tanfiroo fee alharri qul naru jahannama ashaddu harran law kanoo yafqahoona


The Aya says:
Rejoiced the deserters by their staying apart from Allah’s messenger and they resisted / disliked to exert effort through their money and themselves in Allah’s path. And they said: “Do not march in the heat”. Say: “The fire of Hell is hotter” had they understood.

My personal note:
One of the messages of this Aya is not to hurry and rejoice about short term gains and for lack of spending effort in an important cause. Always look at the long term things that make it much more worth it to put some energy in a worthy cause such as Allah’s for long term benefit for yourself and for others.
