And when a sūra that is a section of the Qur’ān is revealed saying ‘Believe in God and strive with His Messenger’ the affluent among them ask leave of you saying ‘Leave us to be with those who sit at home’.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And when a Surah is revealed from Heaven enjoining the belief in Allah and commanding action together with His Messenger in His cause you see the able and the affluent among them requesting exemption, saying to you: Permit us to remain with those remaining behind. The stay-at-home
Quran 9:86 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Admonishing Those Who did not join the Jihad
Allah chastises and admonishes those who stayed away from Jihad and refrained from performing it, even though they had the supplies, means and ability to join it.
They asked the Messenger for permission to stay behind, saying,
ذَرْنَا نَكُنْ مَّعَ الْقَـعِدِينَ
( "Leave us (behind ), we would be with those who sit ( at home )") thus accepting for themselves the shame of lagging behind with women, after the army had left.
If war starts, such people are the most cowardice, but when it is safe, they are the most boastful among men.
Allah described them in another Ayah,
فَإِذَا جَآءَ الْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَالَّذِى يُغْشَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ
( Then when fear comes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes revolving like (those of ) one over whom hovers death; but when the fear departs, they will smite you with sharp tongues.)33:19 their tongues direct their harsh words against you, when it is safe to do so.
In battle, however, they are the most cowardice among men.
Allah said in another Ayah,
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَوْلاَ نُزِّلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ مُّحْكَمَةٌ وَذُكِرَ فِيهَا الْقِتَالُ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ نَظَرَ الْمَغْشِىِّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فَأَوْلَى لَهُمْ - طَاعَةٌ وَقَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ فَإِذَا عَزَمَ الاٌّمْرُ فَلَوْ صَدَقُواْ اللَّهَ لَكَانَ خَيْراً لَّهُمْ
( Those who believe say: "Why is not a Surah sent down (for us ) But when a decisive Surah ( explaining and ordering things ) is sent down, and fighting is mentioned therein, you will see those in whose hearts is a disease looking at you with a look of one fainting to death.
But it was better for them.
Obedience ( to Allah ) and good words ( were better for them ).
And when the matter is resolved on, then if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them.) 47:20-21 sAllah said next,
وَطُبِعَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ
( Their hearts are sealed up ) because of their staying away from Jihad and from accompanying the Messenger in Allah's cause,
فَهُمْ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
( so they understand not. ) they neither understand what benefits them so that they perform it nor what hurts them so that they avoid it.
لَـكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ جَـهَدُواْ بِأَمْوَلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( And when a surah ) from the Qur’an ( is revealed (which saith )) as a command: ( Believe in Allah ) be genuine in your belief in Allah ( and strive along with His messenger, the men of wealth among them ) among the hypocrites: ’Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, Jadd Ibn Qays and Mu’attib Ibn Qushayr ( still ask leave of you ) O Muhammad ( and say: Suffer us to be with those who sit (at home )) without any excuse.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And when a Surah (chapter from the Quran) is revealed, enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive hard and fight along with His Messenger, the wealthy among them ask your leave to exempt them (from Jihad) and say, "Leave us (behind), we would be with those who sit (at home)."
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
