Sura Al-Taubah from 80 to 86


80. Whether you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) ask forgiveness for them ( hypocrites ) or ask not forgiveness for them - ( and even ) if you ask seventy times for their forgiveness - Allâh will not forgive them because they have disbelieved in Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) . And Allâh guides not those people who are Fâsiqûn ( rebellious, disobedient to Allâh ) .
81. Those who stayed away ( from Tabuk expedition ) rejoiced in their staying behind the Messenger of Allâh; they hated to strive and fight with their properties and their lives in the Cause of Allâh, and they said: « March not forth in the heat. » Say: « The Fire of Hell is more intense in heat » ; if only they could understand!
82. So let them laugh a little and ( they will ) cry much as a recompense of what they used to earn ( by committing sins ) .
83. If Allâh brings you back to a party of them ( the hypocrites ) , and they ask your permission to go out ( to fight ) , say: « Never shall you go out with me nor fight an enemy with me; you were pleased to sit ( inactive ) on the first occasion, then you sit ( now ) with those who lag behind. »
84. And never ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) pray ( funeral prayer ) for any of them ( hypocrites ) who dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allâh and His Messenger, and died while they were Fâsiqûn ( rebellious, - disobedient to Allâh and His Messenger ( saas ) ) .
85. And let not their wealth or their children amaze you. Allâh’s Plan is to punish them with these things in this world, and that their souls shall depart ( die ) while they are disbelievers.
86. And when a Sûrah ( chapter from the Qur’ân ) is revealed, enjoining them to believe in Allâh and to strive hard and fight along with His Messenger, the wealthy among them ask your leave to exempt them ( from Jihâd ) and say, « Leave us ( behind ) , we would be with those who sit ( at home ) . »
