Were it an accessible gain or a short journey, they would have surely followed you; but the distance seemed too far to them. Yet they will swear by Allah: ‘If we could, we would have surely gone forth with you.’ They [merely] destroy themselves. Allah knows that they are indeed liars.
اگر مالى در دسترس و سفرى [آسان و] كوتاه بود، قطعاً از پى تو مى‌آمدند، ولى آن راهِ پر مشقت بر آنان دور مى‌نمايد، و به زودى به خدا سوگند خواهند خورد كه اگر مى‌توانستيم حتماً با شما بيرون مى‌آمديم، [با سوگند دروغ‌]، خود را به هلاكت مى‌كشانند و خدا مى‌داند كه آنان سخت دروغگويند.
