English - Sahih International

3:167 And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allah or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] fighting, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah is most Knowing of what they conceal -

Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English

Abridged Explanation of the Quran

And He did this in order to demonstrate who the hypocrites were! When they were told to fight in Allah’s path, or to defend their womenfolk and their people, they said, ‘Had we known that you were going to fight properly, then we would have followed you; but you actually throw yourselves to death!’ At that moment, they were closer to showing their disbelief than their faith, saying with their tongues what was not in their hearts.
Allah knows best what they hide in their breasts, and will repay them accordingly.

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

And that He might test the hypocrites, it was said to them: "Come, fight in the Way of Allah or (at least) defend yourselves." They said: "Had we known that fighting will take place, we would certainly have followed you." They were that day, nearer to disbelief than to Faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah has full knowledge of what they conceal.

وليعلم الذين نافقوا وقيل لهم تعالوا قاتلوا في سبيل الله أو ادفعوا قالوا لو نعلم قتالا لاتبعناكم هم للكفر يومئذ أقرب منهم للإيمان يقولون بأفواههم ما ليس في قلوبهم والله أعلم بما يكتمون

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

He exposes the hypocrites who pretended to be other then they are. When they were asked to join the Muslim forces to fight in the cause of Allah or at least to defend their own interests; they made excuses. They said, We would gladly follow you if we knew how to fight. They were then furthermost from Allah and their words did not accord to their inmost thoughts. Allah knows best their secret feelings

اور منافق کون، وہ منافق کہ جب اُن سے کہا گیا آؤ، اللہ کی راہ میں جنگ کرو یا کم از کم (اپنے شہر کی) مدافعت ہی کرو، تو کہنے لگے اگر ہمیں علم ہوتا کہ آج جنگ ہوگی تو ہم ضرور ساتھ چلتے یہ بات جب وہ کہہ رہے تھے اُس وقت وہ ایمان کی نسبت کفر سے زیادہ قریب تھے وہ اپنی زبانوں سے وہ باتیں کہتے ہیں جو ان کے دلوں میں نہیں ہوتیں، اور جو کچھ وہ دلوں میں چھپاتے ہیں اللہ اسے خوب جانتا ہے
